Go to start run and type in gpedit.msc and open the policy editor and
turn it on from there, then you can edit all that information as well as
several other functions.

Hello all............

I administer a network with 200 users on it running

win2k,

but I have this problem, there are a few very

computer-security savvy =

users on the network with an intent to make my life

difficult;=20

I currently use Radmin to remotely access different

workstations etc... =

on my network yet these guys always know when I'm

watching because of =

the jump of processor power the R_server.exe

service uses when it is =

active and I'm monitoring there activities.....they

notice almost =

instantly when I connect to their machine because of

the info. task =

manager provides.....my question is ;=20

Is there any way to disable them (specifically these

users) from viewing =

the task manager ?? in other words, stoping them

from pressing CTRL + =

ALT + DEL and clicking on Task manager?

If anyone knows how then I would also like to know if

there is any way =

these users can reverse it within there

simple 'USERS' privileges and =

access rights ?

Thanks in advance for any suggestions,

Laterz

Dan B.
