Editing Group Policies

[Guest]

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.security_admin (More info?)

Boy I am confused. My man concern is to limit the Guest account to the hi
nines. The best way to do this I can see is to edit the group policies, but.
When I edit them it makes the changes over all accounts. I have tried to go
into mmc and add a snap-in called group policy. The main one is the local
computer. I was going to change it to the guest group but couldn't. My
question is how do I get the same options as in Local Computer Policy\User
Configuration\Administrative Templates. There are a lot of options there that
I would like to use against the guest account. Please help.

Group policies apply to all users on a computer that is not in a domain environment. See www.dougknox.com, Win XP Utilities, Windows XP Security Console for an application that will allow you to enforce a good set of restrictions on a per-user basis.
