How do I disable the control panel in xp pro?

I tried the gpedit.msc and yes I was able to disable the
control
panel from there. But it also disabled it for the admin also.
I would
only like it for the users only.

thank you

The last two articles apply to Windows XP as well as Windows 2K

Be careful when making changes to the Local Security Policy. As
you've found, changes made apply to all users. I've found it's
helpful to put a shortcut on the Desktop of an administrator
account to the Group Policy folder as well as to gpedit.msc.

Good luck
