I need help for how to prevent users on alocal computer from installing or uninstalling programs and so that they cant open Control panel or display setting. can anyone advice. I know there is a way in adminstrator tools. I need to know how to do this within windows not within a third party program. By the way i am using windows Xp Professional. When i create a limited user it dosent do this.

can anyone advice.

Thanks in advance

from the run window, execute gpedit.msc and you will see a whole list of things you can lock down on the PC based on user or computer settings, such as access to control panel, display settings, printers, network, etc. There are a plenty of settings there, so make sure you read what they do before you enable them or you'll end up locking yourself out as well. i suggest you read up on group policies to familiarize yourself with how they work.
