    Open the file CONTROL.INI and put the following section in it:

    [don't load]
    snd.cpl=yes
    joystick.cpl=yes

    and so on for all the control panel applets you have. This will NOT prevent people from starting any control panel applet from the RUN line.....

    Thumbs up

    Thanx Mac, I was looking for a solution that uses the registry, but that will do the trick.
    May the Force be with you MacGyver.

    Of course you can disable the run command via Registry.
