Kelly, last night I asked the following question:

"Right click on the desktop and one of the options you will get is
properties.
Is there any way to password protect properties?''

You responded with the following:

"If you are speaking of Display Properties, yes. You can place a policy
restriction.''

I would like to know how to place policy restrictions on my Display
Properties. A detailed response would be appreciated. Thank you.

Hi Ross,

Run line 285 (right hand side):
http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_tweaks.htm

It restricts Display in the Control Panel as well. The undo is on the same
line.
