Does this tip also work for Windows XP Home users? I don't recall having gpedit for Home, only Pro version. Unless it's on the CD?

I don't know about home edition - but surely for XP pro you can run gpedit.msc and do the aforementioned trick. This also works on Win2K.

Why would you want to do that? Are you one of those evil admins who believes in killing users' abilities to customize their machines?

No, the gpedit does not work on Windows Xp Home. I have XP home and tried it but it doesnt work so you need Pro to run gpdedit.

I use 1st security agent on all the computers in our office, and it provides a nice GUI to doing all the security stuff that takes so long to do piece by piece in the registry.

If you can't access gpedit, you can do it with the registry editor. Run "regedit" (without the quotes), open HKEY_CURRENT_USER > Software > Microsoft > Windows> CurrentVersion > Policies > Explorer. Right click on "NoControlPanel", then set the value to "1", which will then disable the control panel for the current user. If you want to enable it, just reset the value to "0". -John
