    Hey there,

    Have a slight problem, lack of knowledge...

    How does one remove the control panel, displayed in other places in the my computer window.

    When i open the "My Computer" Window in the "Other Places" menu is the option to click to the "Control panel".
    I require this option to not display or be accessed for users, but still be available on the admin account.

    I have removed it from the start menu, and am aware of this method but it still is displayed in the "Other places" mentioned above.

    Help with this one is much appreciated:wave.

    Hey there,

    If you are suffering from a similar conundrum, try downloading Xp power toys or appropriate version if available for your operating system.

    It has the facility to remove the Other places option - Suits me just fine for this build. Not originaly what i was after but a solution none the less...
