Users who have a certain understanding of the computer must not be unfamiliar with the security model. When there is a problem in the system, after entering the safe mode, only a simple operation is required, and the system can be restored as usual. But how much do you know about the avant-garde vista system security model? How can I make Windows Vista more secure? That is to modify the registry.

First type: hide/show the specified item in the control panel

Fully disabling the control panel can be a preventive effect, but it is also very flexible to hide one of them. The operation mode is to first open  HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Software/Microsoft/Windows/CurrentVersion/Policies /Explorer” subkey, create a double-byte value item named DisallowCpl in the Explorer sub-item, set the value item data to 1, and create a new sub-item named DisallowCpl in the Explorer sub-item, and Create a new string value item named 1 in this sub-item, and set the value data of the value item to intl.cpl. Here, the area and language options in the control panel are limited to make it shape, and Other projects are as correct. Conversely, the specified item can also be displayed, and the others are not displayed. Open the “HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Software/Microsoft/Windows/CurrentVersion/Policies/Explorer” sub-item and create a new double-byte value item named RestrictCpl. Set the value data of the value item to 1, continue to create a new sub-item named RestrictCpl, create a new string value item named 1 in it, and set the value data of the value item to intl .cpl, log out of the registry, log out or start again.

Effect: After restarting the machine, you will find that the control panel can be opened. The items inside have only one regional and language option, and others are hidden.

Second type: Fully disable the control panel

Normally, the user can modify any of the settings in the system by operating the control panel, which is convenient for the user. It has caused trouble for network maintenance personnel. Therefore, for the total prohibition of the unnecessary operation function, the steps first start the Registry Editor, open the "HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Software/Microsoft/Windows/CurrentVersion/Policies/Explorer" sub-item, and then create a new one named NoControlPanel in the Explorer sub-item. Double-byte value item, and set the value data of the value item to 1, and finally, exit the Registry Editor and log out or restart.

Effect: After rebooting, check the computer's >Settings> menu and you will see that there is no control panel. When the user right clicks on the computer properties, a restriction window appears, showing "This operation was cancelled due to the limitations of this computer. Please contact your system administrator for the words ".

The third type: prohibit adding printers

Adding printers will cause network failure and virus propagation. You can restrict the user from adding printers through the registry. Open the procedure "HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Software/Microsoft/Windows/CurrentVersion/Policies/Explorer” subkey, in which a new double-byte value item named NOaddPrinter is created, and its value is 1, exit the registry to restart the machine.

Effect: Open the printer in the settings, although you can right click and select ”Add Printer”, but the prompt window for this operation is disabled. Previous12Next page Total 2 pages
