??? Using Group Plocies on Standalone XP Pro ???


Hi Everyone,

I have a single XP Pro machine that will be used by several users. The
machine is not networked. I would like to establish policies (using
Group Policy Editor [gpedit.msc])for the various users and eventually,
groups of users, that will be using this machine. I am the sole
administrator of the machine.

The Group Policy Editor seems to offer the options I need but I do not
understand how to apply the settings to a particular user or group of
users. When I start gpedit.msc I have two nodes: "Computer
Configuration" and "User Configuration". I believe the settings under
the "Computer Configuration" node apply to *all* users that use this
computer whereas the settings under "User Configuration" applies to the
current user. I can't see how to apply the settings to a particular
user or group of users.

Is it possible for me to use the Group Policy Editor to apply settings
to individual users and/or groups of users?

Thanks very much.
