Block Control Panel via PCSM
Posted: Fri, 05 Jul 2019, 12:34
Hello everyone,
I was wondering if any of you have tried to block control panel using PCSM? I want to block control panel so the end users cannot configure the settings like IP, programs, settings, etc
What I am looking at is doing it via REGEDIT, but it does not seem to work. Here are the methods I tried:
METHOD 1: Batch script component and execute to pc
REG ADD HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer /v NoControlPanel /t REG_DWORD /d 1
METHOD 2: Powershell script component and execute to pc
REG ADD HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer /v NoControlPanel /t REG_DWORD /d 1
METHOD 3: Application component and execute to pc
no_cp.bat containing the script REG ADD HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer /v NoControlPanel /t REG_DWORD /d 1
When I try to execute the job, it will just expire and the registry will not get updated.
Maybe there is a better way to accomplish blocking control panel access?
