    Not quite. For the setting to be applied by what is called a "Group Policy"
    the policy is created on a server and the computer must connect to that
    server (or another domain controller on the same domain) for the settings to
    take effect.

    The procedure I described creates what is known as a local policy, which
    requires no server or network.

    That's fine. Just follow the steps I outlined earlier and it will work on a
    standalone PC running Windows 2000 or XP.
