I could not find group policy under control panel. It is not
under user accounts.

how to reach there?

I am at xpsp2 pro, and am single user, thus admin.

Start -> Run
Type gpedit.msc

I guess that sounds like undocumented magic to him.
The official way still is Start, Settings, Control Panel, Administrative
Tools, Computer Configuration, Local Security Policy

One might also simply start MMC and add the snapin "Group Policy Object
Editor" manually, in terms of creating a collection of the most relevant
snapins.
