Security: Set permission on user accounts

[zzzz]

How do I disable other users' ability of changing some settings like "Folder Options" and "Display settings" and stuff.

I can't seem to find how to do that.

Making the profile mandatory would stop them making changes to it. You can't be selective about it though.

There's probably a way to take those items out of the control panel, but technically they could still be run. Unless there is a group policy setting for those.

The generic way of doing it is via the GP, but you could set the users as part of the 'user' group, this, by default removes those permissions... then all you would have to do is give them more rights via groups, or user management in the GP. There are specific settings in the GP, but you need to search for them, and its slightly a pain to configure to specific machines, nonetheless you may edit the GP by either logging into the domain controller of a network with domain admin privs, or locally, by typing in gpedit.msc in the run menu providing you are running winxp with admin privs.

Thanks . I see many options in this GP settings.

Will learn more about it.
