 If you would refer back to my original post, it states,
>> I want to lockdown the desktop, delete 'run', make the
control panel inaccessible, things of that nature. <<

I'm not seeing any of those things in 'Computer
Configuration'. To the best of my >limited< knowledge,
they are only available in User Configuration /
Administrative Templates / Start Menu & Taskbar as well
as Desktop and Control Panel.

 I've have also gone here

us;q293655
 
to try to get this done but in order to do what it's
saying, you have to be logged in as a user, but then you
can't run gpedit.msc nor group policy within the mmc. The
users group is restricted from utilizing both of those
functions.
