XP Policies for user

[Terry]

In XP Pro not on a domain, how can I set policies for normal users to be very
tight - so they cannot change any browser setting, change nothing on PC
configuration including updates, no ctl alt delete? They will only be able to
open IE Browser go to a web page for mail, etc.

Change the authority level on the account, make it restricted.

I don't know if the specific rights you want to control are there, but
try going to Start->Programs->Administrative Tools->Local Security
Policy and look in "User Rights Assignment"

Depending on what you actually want to control, consider creating
"guest" accounts.
