Group Policy item applies the first time I login then no more

Hello all,
I hope I am posting in the proper place.
I have set up a pc with win xp pro all patches. Connecting to a win 2003 SBS
all patches. i joined the pc to the domain using
http://<server>/connectcomputer, after I configured the pc on the SBS server
with the set up client computer wizard.
Next I created a new GPO that just changed the IE Browser title bar to
display "Provided By:AJINC" a quick visual just to make sure the policy was
being applied. I then linked that GPO to an OU I created.
When I logged on the browser had the effect I was expecting "IE Browser
title bar to
displayed "Provided By:AJINC" , but after I logged off, and back on the
effect stop appearing.
I can't figure out why it stopped appling/displaying the effect.
below is the result of my gpresult any idaes are appreciated

OK - where's the OU you created, who/what is in it, and why didn't you just
link this to the OU where your users/computers reside (or mebbe even modify
the built-in Client Computers one)?

Why does the gpresult output say "Windows 2000" when you're talking about XP
and 2003 ?

Sorry for the pc mis information.
The pc is a Win 2K Pro, but I have a Win XP Pro pc that does the same thing.
As far as why I set it up the way I did
1. Novice to GP, and working on trying to get it together.
2. Was under the impression that you should not modify the "Default" GPO
information (although you say "link" which is probably not changing I
understand you point thanks"
3. Novice to GP
That being said.
The OU is at the domain level above the "Domain Controllers" OU.
The OU has 2 acct's in it , and the Authenticated users acct removed.
The OU has 2 GPO liked to it
IE Browser - modifies the IE title bar
SBS WSUS - User that get updates from internal update server.
Is there an atricle that could explain the basics of GP design?
I may not have done this properly, but strangely enough I have figured out
why it was not working.
I have a Win 2K Adv Server running AD as a PDC on the same network as the
2K3 SBS when I disconect the 2K server the SBS GPO is applied and the IE
browser bar is changed to what I specified in the GP.
I guess I need to demote the 2K server then bring it in as a child of the
SBS server, or just demote the 2K server? Any toughts here are greatly
welcome.

Any info on that would be appreciated as well.
