Hello all,

I am running a fresh installation of XP Pro with all
Windows Updates. I created users in a group
called "Family" (Administrator account in a different
group). After logging on to one of the users and changing
the Group Policy, I logged back into the Administrator
account and it had made changes to it too!!! It's
called "Group Policy" isn't it? Wouldn't it only change
the policies inside the group? How can I fix this problem?

If you like you may e-mail me at:
theicecreamguy@hotmail.com

Thanks in advance,

Anonymous.
