Help in trying to apply a group policy to home computer.
Hopefully this is the correct news group for this question, if not I
apologize. I was wondering if I can apply a group policy to a group on a single computer that's not using active directory (AD) and not in a domain. I want to prevent my kids from doing things that I can set up in the group policy editor. But when I do this it gets applied to all users on the computer. I was wanting to create a new group and add the kids user accounts to that group and apply the policy to only that account and not every user on the computer. I am running XP pro. I have set up the policy by just running gpedit.msc from the run command. Can I load some AD tool, or add some new keys into the registry that will allow me to do this, is it even possible ???. If anyone knows and understands what I am trying to do, I would appreciate any help. Thanks Ken |

Hi,
you can only set up Group Policy in AD environment. Some of local policies set by e.g. gpedit.msc can also be set for only few users (or group), but this depends on settings that you are trying to force on your PC... Mike "Ken" wrote in message ...

I've been trying to do something similar myself. The closest I have been able to get to it is to make sure that the kids accounts are set to the "users" group only. I had to remove the administrator account from the lists they belonged too.. good luck
