How do i set restrictions for different user accounts.

If i have two accounts on a pc "John" and "Dave". How do i set restrictions using regedit for "John" whilst logged on as "Dave". As i cant use CURRENT_USER.

Have you tried the "Run As" command from context menu of Regedit.exe ?
Or have you tried any of these ?

i dont mean like that, i think its something to do with the .default (reg sw) key.

[chris1990]

If there is only one user, the ".Default" key above contains all global system settings. If more than one user, each user has its own subkey here, named after the username(s) found in Control Panel... Users, and the registry settings located under a user's subkey are valid only for that specific user. If you double-click on any of these keys, you'll see 3 subkeys in the left hand pane: Explorer, Network and System.
Create (or modify if already present) the following Binary [hex] values listed below under the subkeys above. To create a new Binary value: right-click... New... Binary... Name it to one of the values listed below.
To modify one of these Binary [hex] values: double-click on it... give it a value of 01 00 00 00 to disable access to a certain system feature, or a value of 00 00 00 00 to enable access to a certain system feature. Don't type the spaces, they will be inserted automatically.

I found this from this website http://www.governmentsecurity.org/ar...strictions.php

The only thing is i dont understand it and it is for windows 9x/Me
