control panel

Is it possible to disable control panel or to remove the
icon (s) from the display to keep students at school from
changing preferences and display settings?

How would this be done in Win 98?

Note, if the Key is not there, then...
"Right-click the right pane and select New, Binary Value, & name it."
....as (Bicycle) Rob said, long, long, ago. (Ask Dundat where he may have
gone to.)

"START button, Run, RegEdit", & navigate to...

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\Policies\Exp
lorer

That is,
(a) Click plus signs, beginning at "HKEY_CURRENT_USER" & ending with
"Policies".
(b) Click "Explorer" in the left pane, & look in the right pane.
(c) R-Clk "NoSetFolders", if there, in the R-pane, & select "Modify".
(d) Change it to one (1): 00 00 00 01.
(R-Arrow to left of last "00", use delete key, type "01".)
(e) Exit, & it may be necessary to reboot.

WARNING: Do not get carried away in the Registry. It is very important
to the proper functioning of Windows. Muss it badly, & you must boot to
DOS & "Scanreg /Restore". Then, choose the date of the last successful
boot from the five offered.

The rest of this is just informational...

Move all .cpl files from \Windows\System to a 'secret' place. A password
protected zipfile for instance. Put them back if you want to change
something.

Is it possible to disable the applets individually? I'd like different
users to get different applets.

Thanks,

Brad

Sounds like Ingeborg has an idea for that. (But don't let him assimilate
you!) Also, I haven't got this & don't know how specific it gets, BUT...

"START button, Run, PolEdit".

Likely, it won't be there, or you'd have known to do that. So...

Oops. I haven't played with that Key, you know! It seems, (B) Rob did
say back then...

D-Clk the new entry, select modify, and add this value: 01 00 00 00.

....where I said wrongly to put the "01" at the end.

Poledit doesn't work because it doesn't list all of the control panel
applets. Only a few.
Ingeborg's idea doesn't work because I would then have to write scripts that
would move files around based on who logs in. Registry entries would be
best.

Thanks,

Brad

I've seen the policy editor mentioned a few times and anyone with computer sense can
get past its policies as well. I used it in my earlier days on 98SE and removed it
once I found there were ways around it.

I don't know the answer, then. Working on Ingeborg's suggestion,
perhaps...

(1) Turn off the Control Panel for everyone.
(2) Detect who has logged in.
(3) Provide a folder on the Desktop containing shortcuts to the
appropriate .cpl files.

I do believe the Desktop is specific to the User who has logged in. That
takes care of step (2), actually.

Well, is it something students might know? Anyway, it will require a
positive act of misbehavior to do it, instead of an accident. That will
warrant an "F".
