Add/Remove Programs Access

[El Clammino]

I am trying to restrict access to the Add/Remove Programs Applet in the Control Panel.
This is on individual PC's in the field, so a GPO will not do.
I have found a utility that does what I am looking for, but of course we dont want to dish out the $50 bucks per PC. Does anyone know of a freeware program or the actual registry key to edit?

Thanks,
C

Create a new DWORD value for each restriction required according to the table below. Set the value to equal "1" to enable the restriction or "0" to disable it.

• NoAddRemovePrograms - Disable Add/Remove Programs
• NoRemovePage - Disable Change and Remove Programs
• NoAddPage - Disable Add Programs
• NoWindowsSetupPage - Disable Windows Components Wizard
• NoAddFromCDorFloppy - Hide "Add a program from CD-ROM or disk" option
• NoAddFromInternet - Hide "Add programs from Microsoft" option
• NoAddFromNetwork - Hide "Add programs from your network" option
• NoServices - Go directly to Windows Components Wizard
• NoSupportInfo - Disable Support Information

Did I ever mention how I loooooove the Windows Registry?

I think I did...
