Poll: Removing Control Panel icons: Good security measure or overkill?
For IT pros and power users the Windows Control Panel is often a starting point for troubleshooting or tweaking their systems. But for the novice user, it can be a Pandora's box. On this week's episode of TR Dojo, I show you how to lock down the Control Panel by removing individual icons or picking the ones that are displayed.

But is removing Windows Control Panel icons really worth all the effort? Does it ultimately depend on a machine's environment--lab, kiosk, office? What do you think? Is removing icons from the Windows Control Panel a good security measure or overkill? Take the poll in the post above and let me know.
