Today I’ll share with you how to make restriction of what users can or cannot do on computer without using software or tools but only using regedit. All the command I’ll show you today is need to apply at HKEY_USERS\(yourprofilename)\ Software\ Microsoft\ Windows\ CurrentVersion\ Policies\ Explorer. Below is the step:
Note: 0 is Off and 1 is On
- Open RegEdit
- Go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\ CurrentVersion\ Policies
- Add DWORD or binary values set to 1 in the appropriate keys for On and 0 for Off.
- Below is the value:
- NoDeletePrinter - Disables Deletion of Printers
- NoAddPrinter - Disables Addition of Printers
- NoRun - Disables Run Command
- NoSetFolders - Removes Folders from Settings on Start Menu
- NoSetTaskbar - Removes Taskbar from Settings on Start Menu
- NoFind - Removes the Find Command
- NoDrives - Hides Drives in My Computers
- NoNetHood - Hides the Network Neighborhood
- NoDesktop - Hides all icons on the Desktop
