Friends, most of the time inexperiensed users are hesitant to go to Windows Registry and modify the values.  You may want to customize various Windows settings as per your requirement. Below are some of them.

For Internet explorer : Restricting a user from deleting Internet Explorer History Items, Preventing users to View Website Source,  Disable menu option File->Open, Tools->Internet options etc

For Control panel : Disable access to entire control panel,  Disable access to options like Add hardware, Add Remove Programs etc.

For Start menu: Disable recent documents folder, Hidefrequently used application list, Changing transparency level for windows Taskbar etc.

and many more.

Even for an experienced user, it’ll take some time to find Registry keys where to make the changes. Apart from this, it is a tedious task to go to Registry every time you want to change a settings. Moreover, changing a wrong value in the registry may cause an unpredictable problem to your Windows.
