Need to disable copy/paste in XP PRO sp2

I looked in the database and online. I cant seem to find a viable way of disabling paste functionality. I need to do this for all apps and Explorer. I did find a script but need to find another way, no third party tool either. This is on a local machine, can I do it through a local policy- have'nt found that option either.
Someone has a group policy that locks this down- is there perhaps a way to apply/copy a group policy to a local machine (not part of a Domain)

thanks in advance

tx! for the quick response

I found that one online, it was crashing when I tested rapid copy/paste attempts. The script works much better using '.setdata clear'.
User cant use the shortcut key, r click - copy/paste, or the printscreen button...
However, if you r-click drag and drop, selecting 'copy here' --- they can still copy/paste a file to a new location...
Almost there. I guess next is figure a way stop that functionality...
