As an alternative you could exempt Administrators from
the application of local group policy by setting a Deny
Full control on system32\GroupPolicy.
This is not really recommended, but it works. You will
not be able to edit policy settings while the Deny is in
place, so you will be removing it and needing to remember
to put it back on or else the settings will apply to them too.
Since you want to latch the box down this means the
Admins would be . . . well you get the picture.
Within Local Security Policy in Pro (or better add the
Group Policy snap-in into a new mmc) you can tighten
the box down in most of the ways that you have mentioned.
These settings are used for setting up kiosk environments
which are probably tighter than you are after.
