Removing Control Panel Features

Go to>>
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\]
add a key named "don't load" (minus the quotes of course)
Next add String values within the "don't load" Key. You will use one String value for each control panel applet
you want removed. For example, I want to remove the "System" applet once I configure my Paging File to
Performance settings as well as Restore functions and more - I will make a string value with the name "sysdm.cpl" and no value set and the System applet will no longer be available under the Control Panel. To
restore a full control Panel to default just delete the "don't load" key.

Making your Internet Fast

Windows uses 20% of your internet bandwidth by default! Microsoft reserve 20% of your available bandwidth
for their own purposes (for updates and interrogating your machine etc..). Here's how to get it back.
Click Start>Run>and type gpedit.msc. Hit enter.
Then
Local Computer Policy >Computer Configuration>Administrative Templates>Network >QOS
Packet Scheduler>Limit Reservable Bandwidth

Double click on Limit Reservable bandwidth. It will say it is not configured, but the truth is under the 'Explain'
tab:
"By default, the Packet Scheduler limits the system to 20 percent of the bandwidth of a connection, but you can
use this setting to override the default."
So the trick is to ENABLE reservable bandwidth, then set it to ZERO. This will allow the system to reserve
nothing, rather than the default 20%. Works on XP Pro and 2000. Enjoy your full speed internet connection.

Disable Control Panel

Press Win+R and input gpedit.msc , then hit ok to open Group Policy.
Go to User Configuration\Administrative Templates\Control Panel , then double click on Prohibit access to the
Control Panel ,choose Enable then hit ok and close the Group Policy.
Now open Control panel again,you will find it has been disabled.
Same way you can enable it if its disabled by Virus
