All tricks are based on Registry editing.
So I'll tell the keyname and the value, that u hv to create for the restriction! If the key is not present, then simply create it.

So here we go:

1.) Restrict Display Properties:

HKEY_CURRENT_U SER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\Policies\System

create DWORD value NoDispCPL and set its value to 1


2.) Restrict Taskbar Properties:

HKEY_CURRENT_U SER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\Policies\Explorer

create DWORD value NoSetTaskbar and set its value to 1


3.) Restrict Folder Options:

HKEY_CURRENT_U SER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\Policies\Explorer

create DWORD value NoFolderOption s and set its value to 1


4.) Restrict Locking/Unlocking the taskbar:

HKEY_CURRENT_U SER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\Policies\Explorer

create DWORD value LockTaskbar and set its value to 1


5.) Restrict Active Desktop:

HKEY_CURRENT_U SER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\Policies\Explorer

create DWORD value NoActiveDeskto p and set its value to 1


6.) Restrict adding/deleting items from Toolbars:

HKEY_CURRENT_U SER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\Policies\Explorer

create DWORD value NoToolbarCusto mize and set its value to 1


7.) Restrict adding/deleting toolbars:

HKEY_CURRENT_U SER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\Policies\Explorer

create DWORD value NoBandCustomiz e and set its value to 1


8.) Restrict right-click in Start Menu:

HKEY_CURRENT_U SER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\Policies\Explorer

create DWORD value NoChangeStartM enu and set its value to 1


9.) Restrict Desktop Cleanup Wizard:

HKEY_CURRENT_U SER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\Policies\Explorer

create DWORD value NoDesktopClean upWizard and set its value to 1


10.) Restrict notification at low disk space:

HKEY_CURRENT_U SER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\Policies\Explorer

create DWORD value NoLowDiskSpace Checks and set its value to 1


11.) Restrict Taskbar Context Menu:

HKEY_CURRENT_U SER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\Policies\Explorer

create DWORD value NoTrayContextM enu and set its value to 1


12.) Restrict Programs to run:

HKEY_CURRENT_U SER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\Policies\Explorer\DisallowRun

create String value with any name, like 1 and set its value to the program's EXE file.

e.g., If u want to restrict msconfig, then create a String value 1 and set its value to msconfig.exe. If u want to restrict more programs, then simply create more String values with names 2, 3 and so on and set their values to the program's exe.


13.) Restrict Registry Editor:

HKEY_CURRENT_U SER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\Policies\System

create DWORD value DisableRegistr yTools and set its value to 1


14.) Restrict Task Manager:

HKEY_CURRENT_U SER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\Policies\System

create DWORD value DisableTaskMgr and set its value to 1


15.) Restrict Drives in My Computer:

HKEY_CURRENT_U SER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\Policies\Explorer

In right-side pane, create a new DWORD value NoViewOnDrive and change its value as following:

3 : To Restrict A and B drives only.
4 : To Restrict C drive only.
7 : To Restrict A, B, and C drives only.
8 : To Restrict D drive only.
F : To Restrict A, B, C, and D drives only.
03FFFFFF : To Restrict all drives.

And if you want more specific restrictions, like you want to restrict a combination of other drives, then you can use decimal no. instead of hexadecimal no. Following is a list for all drives decimal no.:

A: 1
B: 2
C: 4
D: 8
E: 16
F: 32
G: 64
H: 128
I: 256
J: 512
K: 1024
L: 2048
M: 4096
N: 8192
O: 16384
P: 32768
Q: 65536
R: 131072
S: 262144
T: 524288
U: 1048576
V: 2097152
W: 4194304
X: 8388608
Y: 16777216
Z: 33554432
ALL: 67108863

So if you want to disable a combination of drives, just sum their numbers and give the same value to NoViewOnDrive. e.g., for restricting CDEF drives, give the value: 4+8+16+32 = 60

NOTE: You can also hide the drives using NoDrives DWORD value. The location and its value remain same as the above trick.


16.) Restrict New option in context menu:

HKEY_CLASSES_R OOT\Directory\Background\shellex\Con textMenuHandle rs\New

And delete the value of Default, e.g., empty it.


17.) Restrict Send To in context menu:

HKEY_CLASSES_R OOT\AllFilesystemObjects\shellex\Con textMenuHandle rs\Send To

And delete the value of Default, e.g., empty it.


18.) Restrict Balloon Tips:

HKEY_CURRENT_U SER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\Explorer\Advanced

Create DWORD value EnableBalloonT ips and set its value to 0


19.) Restrict Users to enable New XP StartMenu:

HKEY_CURRENT_U SER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\Policies\Explorer

Create DWORD value NoSimpleStartM enu and set its value to 1


20.) Restrict Command Prompt:

HKEY_CURRENT_U SER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Wind ows\System

Create DWORD value DisableCMD and set its value to 2


21.) Restrict Writing to USB Drives:

HKEY_LOCAL_MAC HINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\StorageDevicePolicies

Create DWORD value WriteProtect and set its value to 1
