Control Panel

I tried this for one control panel icon (Display). Believe it or not,
the system recreated the .cpl file. The other problem is that there
are at least six control panel icons for which I could not find a .cpl
file. The .cpl files I found were in \windows\system32

I have a rather old newsgroup reader. Can you tell me which
newsgroups you cross posted to?

Thanks!

I am using TweakUI to eliminate most of the icons in the control
panel, but not all. TweakUI apparently can not get rid of them all.

Is there any way to prevent someone with only USER privileges from
accessing the Control Panel? Or alternatively, can I prevent someone
from seeing the icons in the Control Panel that TweakUI can not get
rid of?


Would moving all .cpl files to somewhere only accessible to you work? Or
renaming them? (Both done with a batch file - maybe one of those "for xx
in yy" type lines?)

I've crossposted this to another newsgroup - the "customise" one is
pretty quiet!
