thnx ;)

@gary4gar
I can create a single .REG file for automating the whole task but it'll not be useful to all, e.g., some members would like to restrict Desktop properties but some would not, so it'll not work for all :)

Thanks ,but u left one important. How to "Disable Network Control Panel" in windows 2000/xp. I know how to disable this one in win 98 by using this key
"[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\
Network]"
Value Name: NoNetSetup
Data Type: REG_DWORD (DWORD Value)
Value Data: (0 = disabled, 1 = enabled)

This tweak works in 98 but not work in 2000 or xp. if u know then plz provide.

I posted only frequently used Restrictions :)

There are many other restrictions, which I can post on demand ;)

Regarding to ur query, u can restrict any Control Panel Applet in 2000/XP using any of following 2 tricks:

1.) If u know the exact filename of the applet, u want to restrict, (like desk.cpl for desktop properties), then simply create following key:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\don't load

and in right-side pane, create a new String value with the same name of the file (like desk.cpl, if u want to restrict this applet in control panel) and set its value to 1 to restirct it.

2.) OR just create following key:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer\DisallowCpl

and in right-side pane create a new String value and in its name give any number, (like 1, and so on) and set its value to exact name of the applet (like "Network Connections" to restrict this applet)! :)

There used to be a project called RedEdit.com - now known as WinGuides.com ( *winguides.com/registry/ )
almost all of these tricks are neatly mentioned there. They also have a utility which will do these registry edits for the user.

Nice ones,but you are doing this the long way.All these registry hacks can be done without going into the nitty-gritty of the registry i.e through GROUP POLICY.

Go to run,then type gpedit.msc.This will open the group policy editor. I think you'll find almost all of your hacks here and even more advanced options. As you can see microsoft had already implemented most of these hacks,but left them disabled here.

Again like with the registry,you should do this with caution.
