WinXP SP3 - Local Security Policy
I am running Windows XP with service pack 3 on a standalone machine that is used for customers to access the internet. What we want is that the local admin to have full access to this machine but if the customers logs on then he would be restricted with access to control panel and such things. So, can anyone tell me if it is possible to apply different local security policies to different users on a standalone machine? Thanks for any information.

You can download Doug's Windows XP Security Console utility that allows you to assign various restrictions to specific users, whether you're running XP Pro or XP Home. The unlicensed version will allow you to apply a number of user specific settings, while logged on to that user's Desktop. Download it from here - http://www.dougknox.com/xp/utils/xp_securityconsole.htm

You can also try out the Windows SteadyState from microsoft which is a software that allows you to control the activity of other users of your PC. By having this tool, you can prohibit the installation of new software, changing the desktop, create a new file or folder and more. It grants you administrator rights giving you the ability to completely remove all the changes that could be performed by another user without your consent, restrict the use of the start menu, manage different profiles and the security and privacy of your computer, download it from the microsoft website.
