Hi,

We need to set up some computers that users can't modify any settings, like
no task bar, can't open control panel, etc). Something like library's
computers. How can I do it? Please help!

Any help will be appreciated!

Example:
--------------------------------------------
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer]
"NoControlPanel"=dword:00000001
--------------------------------------------

Need more help? Be specific.

Hi Ju.c, thanks for your help. Can you tell me why I need to set
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer
value to 1? Where in the GP that let me hide control pannel and task bar?

Thanks again,

Lisa

"Why I need to set

value to 1?"

If you open the registry to
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer
you will see many entries with self descriptive names such as
"NoControlPanel" and a value of either 0 or 1.
To disable the Control Panel you would change NoControlPanel's value to
1. Make sense?
