Control Your System's Behavior

Warning: This trick will affect your computer’s behavior. If something goes wrong you can contact me at pinoy design forum, just give me a PM.

Ok let’s get started.

Preventing access to the command prompt

Click start > run and type gpedit.msc

Select the User Configuration.
On the right panel double click the Administrative Templates folder.
Now you should have at least 7 folders on the right panel including the System folder.
Open up the System folder on the right panel.

I think you’re starting to figure out which one are we going to select. Yes! You’re right it’s the Prevent access to the command prompt. Double click it and it will give you 3 radio buttons.
1. Not configured
2. Enable
3. Disable
Select/check the enable button (this will enable the Disable the command prompt script processing also? drop down list)
Go the drop down list and choose Yes. Click apply or OK. Don’t leave the GPEDITOR yet. To Undo the changes just select the Not configured button.
Let’s test it.
Click start > run and type cmd
You should see something like this:
“The command prompt has been disabled by your administrator

Press any key to continue…”

Some system might not show anything at all. Some will see a messagebox saying “blah blah blah has been disabled your blah blah blah”

Go back to the GPEDITOR.
You can change the other but make sure you know what you’re doing. And don’t blame me for teaching you about group policy. There are a lot of stuff you can disable and enable using group policy.
