Windows XP Security Guide v2.2
The Windows XP Security Guide provides several levels of security guidance
for customers who are interested in hardening deployments of Windows XP for
desktop and laptop client computers in their environments.
This guide includes settings for Windows XP client computers that are deployed
in a Microsoft Windows 2000 or Windows Server 2003 Active Directory domain.
Guidance is also included for an environment that requires an extremely high
level of security in which application compatibility or usability may be
constrained. This guide also discusses procedures for implementing Windows XP
security settings on stand-alone client computers.
3. Getting started
