I will be opening an internet cafe, I would like to know
how to disable: control panel, the registry in Windows XP
home? So, the customers can't modify the computers.
Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Hi Brown,

Click on Start >> Run >> Regedit and navigate to

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\Policies\System

Look for the value 'DisableRegistryTools' and double click it and set it to
1.

Restart Windows for the change to take effect.
