Hi Bob,

A little more detailed this time. ;-)

Open Group Policy...
Start | Run | Type: gpedit.msc | Click OK |
Navigate to >>>
User Configuration\Administrative Templates\Control Panel in the left hand
pane.
In the right hand pane double click: Hide specified control panel applets
Hide specified control panel applets Properties should popup.
Click the O next to Enabled to place a dot in it, this should make the Show
button available.
Click the Show button, Show Contents dialog should popup.
Click the Add button, this should pop up the Ad Item dialog.
Type: ncpa.cpl in the item to be added box and click OK.
Click OK on the Show Contents dialog.
Click Apply on the Hide specified control panel applets Properties and then
click OK.
If you look in the right hand pane of Group Policy, Hide specified control
panel applets should have the word Enabled to the right of it.
Close Group Policy.
