Hi,
Running Windows XP SP2.
Is there a way where I can apply group policy on some users and
exclude other users, such as administrators? Example, I need to
restrict access to all hard disks on the machine on members of the
"users" group, while members of "administrators" group can still
access those HD's.

Any input is highly appreciated.

Thanks
Yahya

Not without AD. In standalone XP & 2k, local policies are per machine, not
per user. Check out Windows Steady State or Doug Knox's XP Security Console
(google it) for options.
