lock control panel

[Denise]

How do I put a password on control panel so that my
tenant cannot disable my screensaver password, change
settings and generally mess with the settings in my
computer?

You don't put a password on it. Log in to the user's desktop and go to
Start, Run and enter REGEDIT Go to:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explore
r

Right click in a blank area of the right pane, select New, DWord value and
name it NoControlPanel. Double click the new value you just created and set
it to 1.

If you don't have access to that user's desktop, see www.dougknox.com, Win
XP Tips, Advanced Registry Editing for a way to access the "user" portion of
the Registry from an Administrator account.
