I have a customers laptop the was on a domain the used group policy to remove
admin rights to all users even local admin account. the company has closed
and sold the computers to ex employees.

problem is that the group policies are still in effect. with out formating
the drive and reinstalling windows XP pro how do I eliminate the group
policies so the user can be local admin?
.
