Hi,
How could I prevent users in my domain from accessing the registry editor, so just me can access regedit.exe or regedt32.exe or even gpedit.msc on their workstations....?
Can you tell me please with example?
Thank you very much...
Ali,

To be more specific. With the Group policy you could go to User config/Administrative Templates/Start Menu../Remove Run menu.. enable that selection. You could also go to
User config/Administrative Templates/System and specifically disable any programs with the Don't run these Windows applications (something like that).

If you create a new GPO at the domain level it will apply to all OU's and users in the domain. I don't recommend editing the existing default domain GPO as you may need it to recover should you make a mistake at that level and lock yourself out of something important.

This may not be a good idea but why not rename the regedit program to a name that only you would know.
