Administrators must have access to control panel. So how do I give access to the Admin only?

how can I get it not to affect the administrator from disabling the control panel

I NEED THIS VERY MUCH. THANKS FOR PUBLISH THIS ARTICLE. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. OKEY BYE.

but how i can enable control panel

good info - before I implement the policy, I need to know how to revert and be able to enable control panel function

I work in a school and this is great for me making sure the settings are not changed but the Administrators must have access to control panel. So how do I give access to the Admin only?

Thanks

Thanks for this info. It really helped. It was written very nicely, easy to understand but I have another question, like the others… is there a way not to disable the control panel of the administrator?

Well I think we can use the registry edit steps to disable the the control Panel .

Follow below steps

[Please take a backup of the registry before doing this ]

In the registry editor navigate to the following key
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer

In the left pane create a DWORD, its name should be NoControlPanel and set its value ot 0.

THANKS

Well, with XP Sp3 2002 Home edition, I have followed the directions to the letter and the Guest is still able to open the control pane with access to each option.

???
Thanks,

Man, this step is very good… thank you…on my OS gpedit.msc cannot be found, maybe bacause my windows is a crack version so my option is only regedit… and this step is the best.. but instead of setting its value to 0, i set the value to 1 so that i disable the Control panel. However, if you are the admin, you have to set it to 0 and access the CP to make some changes, if you are done, you can set it again to 0 to disable it again…

thank you…

Joe C- disable the guest account.
