There is no way to do that unless you do it manually or create your own template
to have everything undefined which would probably cause more problems than it
would fix. Try implementing KB 313222, as you don't have much to lose. You can
also implement it with the /areas switch to change only certain areas of
security policy as described. You could also run the Security Configuration and
Analysis tool against the setupsecurity.inf template to see exactly what
settings differ from default. --- Steve
