aresgodofwar Posted November 9, 2004 Share Posted November 9, 2004 local security policy inside administrative tools. have you tried the help function in XP? it is actually useful. moreso than previous versions. at least i think so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dell and Rodney Posted November 9, 2004 Author Share Posted November 9, 2004 Ok thats good aresgodofwar. Im in local security policy inside administrative tools and still dont understand what to do so further help would be excellent.Yes ive tried the help function in XP, personally i think its a maze as its taking me round and round - you understand it as you know what your doing.
