Subject: Bypass user GPO in Windows Xp / 2003

Hi

I know how to disable this - thats not the problem. I just tought it was 
a bit strange that the GPO settings could be bypassed.
We also discovered that GPO's where applied if  the user had cached 
profile on the desktop - but could be bypassed again with the "runas 
/noprofile" option.

It can be turned off in several ways:

- there is a setting for it in the std. GPO templates.

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer
/HideRunAsVerb = 1/

- Disable the secondary logon process.
- set  acl's on the runas.exe
