XP Home Limited User Accesses

How can I stop the "limited user" from changing their password on XP Home edition?

 

Remove Change password from Task Manager:
KEY: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System
DWORD: DisableChangePassword = 1

Prohibit access to control panel:
KEY: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer
DWORD: NoControlPanel = 1


-------------- as a .reg file

Code:

REGEDIT4

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System]
 "DisableChangePassword "=dword:00000001 

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer] 
 "NoControlPanel "=dword:00000001 

-----------------


If you copy/paste the above into Notepad and File, Save as.. no_pass.reg, you can then add to the logon script or elsewhere for the user, including sending it as an email attachment:

regedit /s no_pass.reg

 

Thank you for the information. I will try asap.

 

You can also, if using the NTFS filestore, set permissions restrictions on:


\Windows\System32\nusrmgr.cpl

Use Safe Mode to restrict this to only the Group Administrators.

 

This worked. Thank you very much. Now onto another problem in another thread.

Thanks again..
