    Re: How to Disable WindowsXP control panel?

    Because i have a vb6 project App that wants to disable it(Control panel or some of it, like User accounts, Add/remove programs, etc). I want to restrict the user from creating user account with password, remove installed programs, etc...
    so, do you think its possible?

    it's more of a network group/user permission thing, not a VB application thing.

    Yes, you just need to set the appropriate permission level for your Windows user. Its not something that should be programmatically done.

    Ah ok.
    but it can be done programatically...like, one click of a button and its all done for you...

    anyways, thanks for the replies. But if somebody out there who may have the knowledge in automating such a thing, i'll leave this thread open for now...
