Local security policy

Posted: 07-08-2003, 12:06 PM
I have two local XP Pro machines that I need to restrict
the user rights on. I have found the settings I want to
apply in the local groups policy. The only problem is I
want to apply these restrictions to only one user account,
not the admin accounts. Is there a way I can restrict one
user's rights without having or installing active
directory? Thanks.

Local security policy
Posted: 10-10-2003, 09:39 AM
I run XP Home and want to change the local security
policy 'shutdown:clear virtual memory pagefile'.

The instructions I have been given say:
Go to Control Panel then Administrative Tools and double
click Local Security Policy>Local Policies>Security
Options.
Scroll down the list in the right-hand pane and right
click on 'shutdown:clear virtual memory pagefile', select
Properties and check 'Enabled' and then Apply.

The problem is that, under Administrative Tools, I cannot
find 'Local Security Policy'. Searching Help doesn't
help.

Can anyone out there help me?

Many thanks.

You will have to edit the Registry Manually for this one. The Local
Security Policy tool, and Group Policy Editor are not included in Windows
XP.

Click Start, Run and enter REGEDIT Go to:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Session Manager\Memory
Management

Look in the right pane for a value called ClearPageFileAtShutdown If it
exists, double click it and set it to 1. If it doesn't exist, right click
in a blank area of the right pane, select New, DWord value and name it
ClearPageFileAtShutdown. Change the value to 1.

PS I tried to use the 'Reply (email)' facility, but it

today.

Hello,

Being the smart man that I am, I was playing with windows
xp local security settings and changed to the high level,
where programs do not run even if you are an
administrator. How do I change it back? It will not let
me open the security policy window again. Any ideas???
Please help. Thanks.

access, so that they can't go through the program files directory and loadup
programs taht way?
