Group Policy

[toonei]

Using my Administrator account in XP Pro trying to make changes from the Group Policy snap-in.

I have been trying to put some restrictions on the Control Panel from the User Configuration in Group Policy. Any changes I make also affect the Admin acct. Why is this? Am I missing something?

This is normal behavior.

Thanks for the quick reply, it is appreciated. This is kind of frustrating though. Not like in a Server OS where you can restrict users and not affect anyone else. So the only way to effectively lock things down is either put people in the Users or Power Users group, correct? What is Microsoft's purpose in this? Has me wondering why this is desigined this way. Thanks again
