I have found the routine that allows me to set policy for a variety of
events, from encryption to logging, on my XP-Pro computer. I cannot
seem to find the same application on my other computer running XP-home.
Is this one of the differences?
 
Windows XP Home Edition does not have the Group Policy or
File Encryption features found in XP Pro.

That I understand, but there is an application on my PRO machine that
allows me to examine and set other sorts of security things. Example,
setting the audit policy (logon events, etc.), setting user rights, a
password policy, --- and the list goes on without getting into
encryption and/or groups.

And that interface is not runnable in Home edition.

Is there an alternate method of setting those sort of parameters? E.g.
controlling the logging of security events (there is a log viewer
available on HOME).
 
The alternative is to upgrade to Windows XP Professional.
Windows XP Home Edition was not designed for use in
corporate computing environments.
