I didn't see anything mentioning "per user" there but rather it applied to
the "entire group", e.g. seemed again to be an all or none situation.

I don't understand. How do you specifiy restrictions etc. for just one
individual user rather than a whole group?

Couple of months of asking now and no-one has ever even given a hint how to
go about it!!!!

As I couldn't figure it out, I saw no reason to even bother keeping XP on
system as I basically had to keep it as open as 98SE anyway. There's
actually nothing "new" I could do.

In fact given the propensity for virus/worm writers etc. to target MS's
latest pile of bloat, it may now even be a safer environment :)

Per-user basis, this might help!

And how do you configure just that one user rather than the whole group
they're in? I keep asking this question and have yet to get any kind of
response on how to actually go about it.
Seems to me everything revolves around "groups" and I've yet to find someway
to indicate "just this user" that doesn't seem to require purchasing some
3rd party tool.
