XP Policy Questuion

[Guest]

O/S is XP SP2
Under User Administration - Administrative Templates - Control Panel -I
enabled the policy "Prohibit access to the control panel". It worked fine.
Now I want to disable it and when I select Disabled or Not Configured the
setting is accepted. However when the PC is rebooted the policy is enabled
again and the enabled radio button is ticked. The PC is not a member of any
Active Directory Domain . How can I fix this fault. ? Thanks for any replies.
