Hello everybody

I have a PC running Windows NT and, due safety requirements, I have to lock the access to the MS EXPLORER and PC settings. Anyone knows how could I
delete the "My computer" icon or a way to lock this access ?

Thanks in advance

Elbert Costa

Use the policy editor that comes with windows. Be cautious, because you may lock yourself out of the machine.

poledit.exe is the file name. If you don't have it on the machine, I think it is downloadable from M$oft.

I don't know about NT, but a halfway solution for Windows 95, which you might be
able to adapt, can be found on the "Windows 95 Annoyances" web site
(http://www.annoyances.org/). Look in the "Reducing Clutter" section near the
bottom.

There are some useful lockout-type tips at

I don't know how you build in a back door to get access back, though.
