Need to lock my XP machine so that no new programs can be added and so the control panel and other features are disabled, is there a way to do this with XP or do I need a 3rd party bit of software?
lots and lots of stuff there you can turn on/off at user or computer level. Not sure if you can disable the CONTROL PANEL icon from there. But that can be done thru the registry.
yeah hopefully that should do it but apprantly you can still install some things, it's just annoying when you get back to find 1000 bits of spyware some weather display and a dancing girl on your desktop and not to mention BONZA BUDDY!!! that thing needs to be shot
True... if you remove the users account from the Admin group, installations become harder. However as long as the installing program doesn't access the registry (most do) the user can still install the program. Have you tried giving that particular user READ ONLY rights to the Program Files directory? You will have to have NTFS instead of FAT32.
Also Hi EP and people. I found this place again while looking through a oooollllllldddd backup. I have filled over 10TB and was looking at my collection of antiques. Any bids on the 500Mhz Win 95 fix?
