Re: Trying to block Intel GMA driver on the desktop.

Hi Mike,

Remove the context menu addition: It depends on where in the right click
menu.

Go to Start/Run/Regedit and navigate to:

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\OpenWithList
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\Background
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Drive\shell
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Drive\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Folder\shell
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Folder\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers

Customizing Right-Click Menu Options in Windows

As for the two .cpl's do a search for: *.cpl
When it appears, right click, delete. Or list them here:

This tweak is useful for uncluttering your Control Panel and removing unused
functions: Start/Run/Regedit

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\don't load

Add a key named don't load. Next add String values within the don't load
Key. You will use one String value for each control panel applet you want
removed. For example, I want to remove the "System" applet once I configure
my Paging File to Performance settings as well as Restore functions and
more - I will make a string value with the name "sysdm.cpl" and no value set
and the System applet will no longer be available under the Control Panel.
To restore a full control Panel to default just delete the "don't load" key.

Here are the Windows XP Pro Control Panel applets:
System Properties = sysdm.cpl
Network Connections = ncpa.cpl
ODBC Administrator = odbccp32.cpl
Display Properties = desk.cpl
Add or remove programs = appwiz.cpl
Internet Properties = Inetcpl.cpl
Game Controllers = joy.cpl
Phone and modem Options = telephon.cpl
Time and Date Properties = timedate.cpl
Region and Language Options = intl.cpl
Power Options = powercfg.cpl
Mouse Properties = main.cpl
Accessibility Options = access.cpl
Add Hardware Wizard = hdwwiz.cpl
Sound and Audio Devices = mmsys.cpl
User Accounts = nusrmgr.cpl
Speech Properties = sapi.cpl

I recent set up a Dell Optiplex GX280 with a Intel 82915G Video driver but I
need to gray out the Graphics properties options when I right click. I set
up 5 of these machines with a group policy but a user was able to change the
rotation of the screen 180 degrees. Is there any way I can gray out the
graphics properties option with a registry key or group policy? I know I can
just take out the right click functionality completely with group policy but
I'd like to keep this option open. The name of the .cpl extenstion is
igfxcpl.cpl and I tried hiding the applet but that doesn't prevent access to
it. I'd also like to hide the Printers & Faxes applet but I can't find that
when I do a search.
