In case you didn’t know, you have the ability to stop users from changing your settings in the Control Panel. Here is how to do this inWindows 10:

1. Hiding Control Panel settings using Group Policy

Close the Local Group Policy and open the Control Panel. You should only see the items you specified.

2. Hiding Control Panel settings using Registry

Even if these steps work on Windows 10, all the instructions above will remain the same in case you’re running Windows 8.x or Windows 7.

For most of the kids of his age, the Internet was an amazing way to play and communicate with others, but he was deeply impressed by the flow of information and how easily you can find anything on the web.

Prior to founding Windows Report, this particular curiosity about digital content enabled him to grow a number of sites that helped hundreds of millions reach faster the answer they’re looking for.
