Hiding Control Panel For All?

Hi all,
I'm trying to hide the control panel on several local stand alone XP
Pro PC's in the office. All the user accounts are set up as Power
Users. After a lot of reading, it looks like the best way to do this
is to use group policies. I set this up on my test system and it works
fine. My question is: this change affected all the groups, including
Administrators. Does this mean every time I log in as Administrator I
have to un-hide the control panel to make changes or can I limit hiding
the control panel to every one but the Administrator? Is there a
better way??

Thanks in advance...

Dave
