Hi,
I'm looking for a way to ACTIVATE the access block for the control panel that you find in gpedit.msc using CMD. Is this possible? All help would be APPRECIATE, been looking for this for weeks.There are macro programs that record KEYSTROKES and mouse movements, and you can compile the resulting script into an executable.

Is that an option?User Key: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer

System Key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer

Value Name: NoControlPanel
Value Type: Dword
Value Data: 1 (Control Panel disabled) 0 (Control Panel enabled)

Create reg file and use reg.exe to incorporate into registry.

But why not use gpedit.msc?

Thank you for answering, I'll read up on reg files then.
I'm not using gpedit.msc because the whole point of this is that I'm creating a password protected application that will activate and deactivate it.
