| Post subject: | How to edit registry to lock down CS menu? |
Greetings. First let me say Thanks! to the developers of this tool. I work for a public school district which just purchased the first batch of Windows 8 laptops for student use. I would like to prevent students from accessing any CS settings. This is not the Pro version of Windows 8, so there is no gpedit, just regedit. Anyone know how to do that? Thanks. |

Take a look at the "Administrative Settings" section in the help. It will get you started. |

So, you just access these settings and change them? If it is that easy, won't the students know how to change them back, or due to the administrative portin they won't have access? Thanks for helping a Noob! |

To make those changes, you have to be logged in with an Admin user account and know which registry settings to create or modify. To undo the changes requires an Admin account and knowledge of the registry settings. |

If the students have admin rights and can modify the HKLM registry, they already own you. Nothing you can do to prevent any change to the system. |

Thanks for helping a Noob! The idea is that students will be given standard accounts, not admin accounts.  Then they will be prompted for the admin password if they try to open Registry Editor, the HKLM portion at least.
