I own the admin account of my PC running, Windows XP Pro edition. There is another Non-admin account in this system. I want to limit the administrative capabilities of this account. That is, to prevent that user from accessing registry, group policy, user accounts panel etc.
Is there anyway to do this without using third party softwares?

?? I can do anything I want in a Normal User account in XP?? They have admin privileges by default. – Moab – 2011-09-18T17:46:29.247
1@Moab: By which I meant a user belonging to the
Users
group (as opposed toAdministrators
). – user1686 – 2011-09-18T17:55:17.430@grawity, you might clarify this and add instructions on how to set up this type of account, by default it is part of the admin group? – Moab – 2011-09-18T18:25:51.833
@Moab: IIRC, the user account panel asks if the account should be "Administrator" or "Limited User". Since the goal is to forbid administrative privileges, there is only one choice left... – user1686 – 2011-09-19T20:08:33.170
