create DWORD value DisableTaskMgr and set its value to 1

15.) Restrict Drives in My Computer: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\Policies\Explorer In right-side pane, create a new DWORD value NoViewOnDrive and change its value as following: 3 : To Restrict A and B drives only. 4 : To Restrict C drive only. 7 : To Restrict A, B, and C drives only. 8 : To Restrict D drive only. F : To Restrict A, B, C, and D drives only. 03FFFFFF : To Restrict all drives.

And if you want more specific restrictions, like you want to restrict a combination of other drives, then you can use decimal no. instead of hexadecimal no. Following is a list for all drives decimal no.:

A: 1 B: 2 C: 4 D: 8 E: 16 F: 32 G: 64 H: 128 I: 256 J: 512 K: 1024 L: 2048 M: 4096 N: 8192 O: 16384 P: 32768 Q: 65536 R: 131072 S: 262144 T: 524288 U: 1048576 V: 2097152 W: 4194304 X: 8388608 Y: 16777216 Z: 33554432 ALL: 67108863 So if you want to disable a combination of drives, just sum their numbers and give the same value to NoViewOnDrive. e.g., for restricting CDEF drives, give the value: 4+8+16+32 = 60 NOTE: You can also hide the drives using NoDrives DWORD value. The location and its value remain same as the above trick.

16.) Restrict New option in context menu: HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\Background\shellex\Con textMenuHandlers\New And delete the value of Default, e.g., empty it.
