Administrator affected by group policy

[proggybilly]

I have a lab of windows xp sp3 machines that I need to "lockdown", the problem is when I use gpedit.msc the changes also affect the administrator. I need to have the administrator able to do everything. How can I setup a group policy that affects only regular users? I do not have a domain controller.
