Hi,

In WinXP Pro *only*, start/run gpedit.msc, you will find it under User
Configuration/Administrative Templates/Control Panel.

This tool does not exist in a WinXP Home system, but you can control this
with the registered version of MVP Doug Knox's Security Console. You will
find it under Utilities at www.dougknox.com
