    Make sure you set it to the other accounts not the admin account

    You need to use the Policy Editor to fine tune what an user can and can't do. This article:
    How To Use the Group Policy Editor to Manage Local Computer Policy in Windows XP
    Should help with that. The Users icon in Control Panel only allows you to set a user as Admin or Limited.
