As far as I know the only way to achieve what you're after is to set
permissions on the individual objects listed in the administartive
tools....for example, on my system I only have administartive tools showing
in my control panel, right click on the specific object listed in admin
tools, click properties and note the target file name and path. Find the
file, secpol.msc as 1 example located in the system32 folder. Make sure you
have simple file sharing disabled from the advanced folder options at the
bottom. right click on secpol.msc, click properties, select the security
tab. There are a few ways from here to achieve the goal, you can either just
remove power users group name from the listing of groups, which is kind of
relaxed security, or you can leave power users listed and set a deny
permission for the group which is much more strict and more likely to keep
prying children from changing your security settings and screwing up the
computer. Click apply rhen ok. Lather rinse and repeat for all desired
objects. HTH
