I am trying to restrict the "user" from having any access
to the control panel. I remember in windows 2000 I was
able to restrict complete access to the control panel
through "Administrative tools" but can't seem to find it
in Windows XP. Any help is appreciated.
Thanks, kdg

Hi,

In WinXP Pro *only*, start/run gpedit.msc, you will find it under User
Configuration/Administrative Templates/Control Panel.

This tool does not exist in a WinXP Home system, but you can control this
with the registered version of MVP Doug Knox's Security Console. You will
find it under Utilities at www.dougknox.com

open any office application such as word. alt+f11. copy
the following three lines and paste them into the window.
make sure the cursur is somewhere in the code. hit f5.
the second line with the long command needs to be on one
line


Sub ControlPanel()

ReturnValue = Shell("C:\WINDOWS\system32\cmd.exe /k start
shell:ControlPanelFolder", 0)

End Sub
