What OS ? This is more approachable with XP Pro than it is with
Windows 2000, mostly due to the addition of Software Restriction
Policy in XP and later.
However, local policy (i.e. stand-alone) is always applied equally
to all accounts. User and group selectivity is a domain feature.
There is a workaround, a very tedious workaround, for which one
must plan carefully what policies are to be in effect for which accounts.
In general I do not recommend it.
Also, most things effected by local policy can be done with registry
settings - and there are third-party tools to assist. You might want to
look at Doug's little app for this (www.dougknox.com).
Finally, from what you have said it almost sound like what you could
do is to change the default shell from Explorer for the couple accounts
that are to be restricted to only accessing the bank web sites.
