Thank you Matt for you response,

No Override and Block Inheritance are now more clear.

The policy I have been editing is just the default domain policy. I believe
I have tried a single policy linked to another OU. What I have been trying
to do is apply policies to computers which affect the logon screen. I am
trying to prevent local logons to Client workstations. Currently when a
computer running either Windows 2000 Pro or Windows XP boots there is an
option to log on locally or to the domain. My goal is to not have the local
logon optiong available. Also I would like to remove restart and shutdown
options as well.
