Dear M/s, My query is very simple. Sir how can i block access to "Control Panel", "Run" for a specific user or group of users? Kindly help me out... Regards,

answer is very simple....group policy. if you are not familiar with it, you need to do alot of research or hire a consultant as you can FUBAR your NW if you screw it up

I think it can be done via Registry... can u tell me how can it be in that way?

donot go that level..why don't u use third party soft such as accman ie, Access Manager. it will block what ever u want to a user such as, drive hide, internet access, control pannel, my document and other so many things. try it

but i want 2 use Registry Editor .. i am familiar with it .. i also removed the VBS/Redlof virus from there by making use of registry .. and one more thing that if the registry settings r changed n if it affects a computer how much it can effect? n recovering registry from back up will work or not? For removing Redlof virus: Hkey_local_machine\soft\microsoft\windows\currentversion\run >> delete “kernel32” Hkey_local_machine\software\microsoft\outlook express >> delete “degree” Hkey_local_machine\software\classes\dllfile >> delete all subdirectories except “default icon”
