How do I lock computer settings/hide control panel?

[NWIndustries]

I am looking for a way to prevent users from making changes to the computer settings and to hide the control panel. Does anyone know how to do this?

You'd need to create a policy and have it execute when the users logged in. Poledit does it fairly well

If that's for a home computer not on a network just use Tweak UI that can be downloaded from microsoft.
