policy restrictions

[Guest]

I need to create a policy to restrict all users except administrators in a workgroup from accessing the Control Panel on Windows XP Professional (without server), without using third-party utilities or directly editing the registry
Is there anayway to do this?

Additionally, while its 3rd party software, you can apply this restriction, and many others on a per user basis. See www.dougknox.com, Win XP Utilities, Windows XP Security Console.
