Actually, this doesn't do what I want...
Again, this is a standalone version of XP Pro (running in a workgroup). I
want these restrictions to apply to userX but NOT to the admin account.
Anything in gpedit instantly applies to ALL accounts on the machine. Unlike
PolEdit in the old days, there is no way to force it to apply to group/user
X and not to group/user Y...
