Local group policy - refresh?



How can I refresh the reading of registry.pol file to apply new policy rules?

I try to install and use local policy group in a Windows XP Professional workstation.
This workstation is in a workgroup then I use only the local policy group for all users.

I would like to use two file .pol: one for the administrators group (I can read CD-ROM, open explorer, close programs from toolbar...) and the other one for the user group (in the desktop I can use only Internet Explorer, but I can't close windows from taskbar, I can't access CD...).
The administrator set the policy that he wants executing two scripts.

I've written two registry.pol files and with 'gpupdate /force' and the operating systems applied the right policies, using this command.
I was "administrator" when I tried to change the policies.

Today I've tried but no update. The policies remain the same.

Why did it work fine until today?

Windows XP SP2; I read KB n.293655 to know where WinXP stores the policy file (registry.pol).

Thanks in advance,
Marco
