The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

restoring control panel after disabling it in group policy editor- gpedit.msc-windows XP

Asked by mocoohay in Windows Network Security

Tags: ,

Type GPEDIT.MSC from the Run box.
Navigate to User Configuration>Administrative Templates>Control Panel:Prohibit Access to the Control Panel=enabled.

Directly after you do this, make sure to remove the Read access for the Administrator Group (local) to the %sytemroot%\sytem32\Group Policy folder (it's hidden).  You'll need to take Ownership of this folder again and add the Read permission back for Administrators to edit anything else later on.

If you don't do this, then the Administrator also has no access.

HTH

The above is the accepted answer from a question, "how to prevent access to control panel on a local machine" (admin's included). My question: what are the precise steps to invoke the second part "Directly after you do this..remove Read access for the Admin Group and take Ownership for this folder (how do i do that?). Basically, I only want the administator to have access to control panel on a local machine (no domain exists and probably never will in this case). Also, is there another method to "restore" control panel icons, or a different way to access control panel via "run". I may have problems if I can't restore control panel to the admin. In short, I disable control panel and didn't do the other stuff because I was unaware I needed to and the Microsoft website didn't bother to warn me about this issue.
Thanks in advance.
