    Hi all.

    I'm setting up limited accounts on my xp home sp3
    and I am wanting to change settings in the limited accounts without affecting the admin account. Is this possible?

    For example, I would like to disable the Start>Run option on the start menu on the limited accounts but leave it operational in the admin account.

    There are all sorts of "tweaking tools" that can do all sorts of things...some can probably do it...

    www.tweakxp.com might also have info.

    It is entirely possible.
    Here is something close to a group policy editor for XP.
    http://www.dougknox.com/xp/utils/xp_securityconsole.htm
    To use the free version of this tool, you need to change each of those Limited Accounts to an Administrator, then log in as each User, use the tool, log out, then reset the User Account back to Limited.
    You might want to poke around the website and see what else interests you.
