Guys!
In this tutorial, I'll tell u some interesting restrictions, which can be made in XP/2003. Like u can restrict Display properties, taskbar properties, folder options, etc.;)
Though many of u may know all of them or a few of them already, but I think it would be good to share them with u.
All tricks are based on Registry editing.
So I'll tell the keyname and the value, that u hv to create for the restriction! If the key is not present, then simply create it.
So here we go:
1.) Restrict Display Properties:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\Policies\System
create DWORD value NoDispCPL and set its value to 1
2.) Restrict Taskbar Properties:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\Policies\Explorer
create DWORD value NoSetTaskbar and set its value to 1
3.) Restrict Folder Options:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\Policies\Explorer
create DWORD value NoFolderOptions and set its value to 1
4.) Restrict Locking/Unlocking the taskbar:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\Policies\Explorer
create DWORD value LockTaskbar and set its value to 1
5.) Restrict Active Desktop:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\Policies\Explorer
create DWORD value NoActiveDesktop and set its value to 1
6.) Restrict adding/deleting items from Toolbars:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\Policies\Explorer
create DWORD value NoToolbarCustomize and set its value to 1
7.) Restrict adding/deleting toolbars:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\Policies\Explorer
create DWORD value NoBandCustomize and set its value to 1
8.) Restrict right-click in Start Menu:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\Policies\Explorer
create DWORD value NoChangeStartMenu and set its value to 1
9.) Restrict Desktop Cleanup Wizard:

10.) Restrict notification at low disk space:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\Policies\Explorer
create DWORD value NoLowDiskSpaceChecks and set its value to 1
11.) Restrict Taskbar Context Menu:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\Policies\Explorer
create DWORD value NoTrayContextMenu and set its value to 1
12.) Restrict Programs to run:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\Policies\Explorer\DisallowRun
create String value with any name, like 1 and set its value to the program's EXE file.
e.g., If u want to restrict msconfig, then create a String value 1 and set its value to msconfig.exe. If u want to restrict more programs, then simply create more String values with names 2, 3 and so on and set their values to the program's exe.
13.) Restrict Registry Editor:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\Policies\System
