GPO Policy XP (Breaking your own computer)

(IT Professionals) Keywords: security
So today, I was feeling experimental and decided to set my GPO to insane security mode on my desktop.
after rebooting any service running as 'localsystem' wouldn't start (access denied)
this led to a series of other funky problems... including explorer not loading...
I love GPO's to death... but this was ridiculous..
anyway, it was easy as hell to reset with a 'secedit /import' command of my default security script..
and i'm as good as new now, except now when people try to connect to my shares they get a user name Guest, and insert password prompt. I'm not posting to ask for help just thought I would share..
I'm sure i'll figure it out.

Has anyone else done anything incredibly stupid to their home systems??
