settings in W2K professional

Is there a way to hide the settings on the "Start", so a user cannot access
the control panel, etc.?


How do I do it?

Thanks

If you have all Win2k and XP workstation you can implement this as a domain
GPO:

HOW TO: How to Hide Selected Control Panel Tools in Windows 2000

You will find that with GPOs you can block pretty much everything. I
strongly suggest you create different OUs to manage this policies and not
use the defaul domain policy.

Assuming that notepad = notebook (I'm not familiar with the previous one)
and you are running XP or 2000 in them:

Just follow the steps outlined in the KB article I just mentioned... but
apply them on the local machine, instead of the domain. The instructions are
there.

Are you part of a domain. If so make a policy from the
server using poledit. You can then apply this to a user or
a group of users.

If it is a individual pc, you may wish to try and download
some pocily/lockdown tools.
