gpedit.msc - add local policies and not domain policies
I have found out many articles about gpedit.msc for making a new policy with some of the examples that show how to assign existing policy to a group or a user. If we want to create a new policy then the method points to somewhere else which in turn states to refer to gpedit.msc for information and I have also found that secure system will not add anything. Anyways, I am on a computer with Admin rights which is a part of a domain although I am not a domain administrator but I only want to add local policies and not domain policies.

If you are using Windows XP or either Windows 2000 then Group Policies applied locally will be also applied to all the users of the computer. And via the GPEDIT you wont be able to apply it to a specific users. You can however workaround this to keep the administrator from being affected.
