Re: How to hide Control Panel, or tools in Control Panel

You're on the right track Tony. The restrictions won't apply to users in
the Administrators group, which includes the default "administrator"

Hi,

My home Windows XP (Professional edition) computer has several accounts I
set up for each individual family member. Is there a way that I can
customize to hide Control Panel (or tools in Control Panel) in my children
accounts? I need to prevent them to get to Control Panel to change my
settings.

I know I can have gpedit.msc to set it up, but it looks like this setup
applies to all accounts. I just want this setup applies to my children
accounts only. I am an administrator.

Thanks in advance.

Tony
