Giving And Removing Program restriction

[dericksweb]

(TIP: To take Windows XP registry editor- Start > Run Type there regedit.exe And press enter)



If you’re sharing an XP computer with someone else and you’re the administrator, you can restrict the other user(s) to running only applications you specify. This can be particularly useful when sharing the computer with a young family member or if your computer must be used by guests. Here’s the procedure:


1. In your registry editor, logged on with the account you want to restrict, navigate to: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer.
2. In an empty portion of the right details pane, right-click and select New | DWORD Value.

3. Rename the new value to RestrictRun.
4. Double-click the new value and enter 1 in the Value Data field. (You can modify this to allow all applications to run by changing the value to 0 (Zero)
5. Create a new subkey named RestrictRun.
6. Create a new string value for each application you want to allow. Name each string value as a consecutive number.
7. Set the Value Data for each string value as the name of an application you want to allow (this should be the executable program name, such as explore.exe for Windows Explorer).
8. Reboot the computer to apply the change.
Warning
Don’t apply this policy to yourself or you may not be able to run the programs you need to in order to administer the computer—and if you can’t run the registry editor, you won’t be able to change the policy.

Have a nice hack.
