I'm running a Windows XP desktop in a corporate environment. How can I find out what AD groups I belong to?

Try running gpresult /R for RSoP summary or gpresult /V for verbose output from the command line as an administrator on the computer. It should output something like this:

C:\Windows\system32>gpresult /V
