To restrict user actions, you will need to implement Group Policy. Since
Windows XP Home Edition does not have Group Policy, you will require
Windows XP Professional Edition to implement Group Policy.
Using Group Policy you can set a variety of software, computer, and user
policies. For example, you can define the various components of the user's
desktop environment, such as the programs that are available to users, the
icons that appear on the user's desktop, the Start menu options, which
users can modify their desktops and which cannot, and so on. You also use
Group Policy set user rights.
User rights are rules that determine the actions a user can perform on a
computer. In addition, user rights control whether a user can log on to a
computer directly (locally) or over the network, add users to local groups,
delete users, and so on. Built-in groups have sets of user rights already
assigned. Administrators usually assign user rights by adding a user
account to one of the built-in groups or by creating a new group and
assigning specific user rights to that group. Users who are subsequently
added to a group are automatically granted all user rights assigned to the
group account. User rights are managed using Group Policy.
