how to lock down a windows xp pro machine to prevent users from lauching programs and getting rid of features like shut down or control panel

Hi there i have been reading up on Group policies in xp but am having troubles setting them up.  I have a windows xp pro machine with sp2 and I want to setup a user account for other people to use but only allow them limited access.  How do i step by step setup a group policy for a specific user to remove things like the start menu or control panel.  Thanks

What kind of limited access? I have 25 laptops running around and haven't used the group policy yet.
