[Help Setting Up A Testing Pc]

hey guys, im still looking for how to do this.

Gpedit applies the policies to all users when used on a local environment, which is not desired, ex. I would like to be able to remove the shutdown button for user "restricted" but not for user "admin"...

as I am not going to be running a domain I can only use the local restrictions of Gpedit... can you point me out to any info on how to do that via de Registry or something simmilar?

I think i found the information I was looking...

This explains how to workaround the limitation of GPedit:

[Help Setting Up A Testing Pc]

Hi guys.

I have been lurking on the forums for a while and now I decided to post a quick question.

I am using qemu to set up a virtual machine (XP SP3), and I want to set it up with some common restrictions like for example, no access to CMD and disallowing batch files...

I dont know exactly how to secure a box so I was hoping to get some help from you guys. If you can give me some ideas on what do disallow, block and disable (within the range of common practices) would be great.

Also I know that there are some programs that give you the options to tweak those things in an easy way, I dont remember the name anymore so if you could point me some of them it would be good as well. I know gpedit, but Im not sure if I can control everything from there alone or if I would have to dive in to the registry.

Thanks in advance.
