Hi VG,

I have two accounts. One administrator and one limited account. Is there is a way to restrict access of the limited account from the administrator?

Hi there VG,
How do I go about disabling 'All Programs' in Start Menu?

Many thanks.

@Madis
I have not checked about those options so please give it a try yourself. Regarding Task Manager, no those options are not there anymore, I was talking about shutdown command which you can run using new command menu.

@VG
1) Ok, but main button (shutdown for desktop ones, sleep for laptops) and closing lid work like before?
2) So task manager has still *every* shutdown-related option it had before?

^^ Whenever a tutorial contains registry methods which might be harmful, I always put a piece of warning. But these kind of small registry tricks are not harmful. Also since this blog regularly covers registry tutorials, almost all readers are aware of Registry Editor.

One more thing! I always provide ready-made registry scripts which makes it easier for people to get what they want without modifying Registry. :)

If you are using W7 Professional or higher, you can do all this in Group Policy (GPEDIT.MSC). Much safer than editing the registry.

Why don't you ever post the warning that editing the registry directly can have unanticipated consequences (possibly fatal)? At lease post a "BACKUP YOUR REGISTRY FIRST!!" warning...
