Wasim Posted July 17, 2004 Share Posted July 17, 2004 Hey all. I have 2 accounts on Windows XP Pro SP1. Mine is Administrator and the other is users (basic account).I have tried to use gpedit.msc to put some restrictions on the basic account however this has a global effect, the restrictions happen to the admin accout as well. In the forum i have read you need an active directory on a OS server.I have a huge list of registery restrictions which can lock down a account on xp. the problem is have to make the basic account admin first so i can add the tweaks manually.What i want doing is being able to add the registry restrictions from my admin accunt into the basic account...would i have to laod ntuser.dat for the basic account? how would i go about?
