Windows 2000 Pro Administrative Tools

This can be done. At run type “mmc” click ok. Then click on “Console” and then “Add/Remove Snap-In”. Then click the “Add” button to add a snap-in. In the list that appears select “Group Policy”. Then click “Add”. If you are on the computer that you want to enable the policy, make sure in the wizard that appears shows that group policy object equals “Local Computer” and then click finish. Close the Snap-In window list. And then click ok on the Add/Remove Snap-In window. You should now be back in the Microsoft Management Console with only the Local Computer Policy object.

Next select, Local Computer Policy, then User Configuration, then Administrative Templates, and finally Control Panel. If you click on the Control Panel folder, in the right panel you should see the policy “Hide Specified Control Panel Applets”. By double-clicking it you will be able to enable the policy and manually add the applets that you want to hide from users. You have to type in the file names of the disallowed applets
(Administrative Tools applet is called, main.cpl). The applet files are located in C:\WINNT\System32.
All applets have an extensionof .cpl.

Hope this helps
