Open an explorer window and go to Tools, Folder Options and in the View tab, right at the botton of the list, uncheck 'Use simple file sharing'. Next, open Control Panel, Administrative Tools, Computer Management, Users. Select a user and you will be able to change policies for individual users just like in Win2K.

Policies can be hosted by the local machine, in poledit, set it up for a manual update and specify a localfile as the location. Just be sure to set the permissions of the localfile appropriately so that it can't be changed by your users. I'd also use regedit32 to lock the location in the registry and prevent tampering with it.

I did the same thing at home, when I got tired of my kids changing the screen resolution on my monitor.:)
