That seems to be the way it works in Windows 2000. The only thing I can
suggest is that you use Group Policy to hide Control Panel applets that you
do not want the users to see under user configuration/administrative
templates/control panel and train them to use lusrmgr.msc to use
stead.. --- Steve
