Control.exe, Renaming in XP Home
If you rename the file "Control.exe" to (for
instance) "xControl.exe" that would disable Control Panel, is that correct? Would it affect any other part of the system? and/or what system 'problems' would it cause, if any? Christopher A. Steele

No, probably not, probably none.

David: Well, if an 8-year-old can't *start* Control Panel, that effectively "disables" it insofar as they are concerned, doesn't it (I mean ... at least until they get smart enough to figure out some 'work around')?

Control is used to start control panel apps from a command line. It is =
not required or used for normal use of Control Panel. --=20 -------------------------------------------------------------------------= ------------------------- http://webdiary.smh.com.au/archives/...nt/001075.html =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3 D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D= =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3 D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D wrote in message = oups.com... =20 David: =20 Well, if an 8-year-old can't *start* Control Panel, that effectively "disables" it insofar as they are concerned, doesn't it (I mean ... at least until they get smart enough to figure out some 'work around')? =20 Thanks for responding, David. =20 Christopher =20 David Candy wrote: No, probably not, probably none.
