In reply to Vaseem Ahmed's post on January 14, Thank you for the reply, but thats not what I am looking for. I want to hide the Games option completely equivalent to editing the sysoc. Having the box unchecked is fine as they are not installed, but that does not stop anyone with admin rights from going in there and checking the box to install them.
When I open optionalfeatures. I am looking to remove Games from the list. In reply to lilh's post on January 14, This isn't really a game question. It's more of an admin question and if you want to lock down computers so user's can't play or install game Windows now uses Group policies for that. Type gpedit. Using Group Policy, administrators can configure, manage, and lock down different aspects of desktop and mobile PCs and the experience of users on these clients.
In reply to daviangel's post on January 14, In reply to lilh's post on January 15, You may want to post or search through this TechNet Forum. But it is a games issue - not just for him - for MANY of us.
I feel like Microsoft employees keep telling us certain things are "old school" or not the way we hsould be doing something. Someone else aptly called it "Big Sister" ; But I, and a number of my officemates, are admins of our own laptops - but we also NEED to have hte games disabled. Two of us have severe gaming addiction, and another man has very severe ADHD which leads to him having gaming issues. So not only for the waste of memory involved, but why include irremovable games in windows in the first place???
Why on earth make it impossible for adults who KNOW they have problems to be able to remove the source fo the problem? I need to be admin of my own computer.
I also need there to be no games. This lame-oh "prevnet them from showing up in the start menu" can't trick anyone with admin rights over the age of six. I like many features of Windows 7. I am just not understanding that when we ask how to do something or why we can't do it - why Microsoft keeps telling us that we don't really need to do it.
And then they refuse to address the needs of their users. Yes, the 65 year old prize winning mathematics professor who works down the hallway from me and is a world genius needs to waste days adapting to the new start menu because Windows thinks everyone should abandon the "classic view". What a waste of time for people of a certain age whose intellectual contributions will be the same even ifthey are using some supposedly archaic start menu Anyway, this is off topic - biut honestly the games question above is an important GAMES question and sys admin question.
You need to have permissions to do that. Perform the same steps as above to get the permissions for the ShellFolder key. Change the permissions of the key to give the active user full control over the key. Double-click the Attributes value afterwards and change its value from b to b Change the permissions of that key so that the current user has full control over the key.
Then double-click on attributes and change the value from a to a Perform the same steps as outlined in the Homegroup removal guide. The Registry key that you need to navigate to is. Name the new Dword Attributes and give it the value bc. The changes are not visible immediately. You can restart the computer, log off and on again or kill the explorer.
Nice, helpful article. This is going into my collection. Thanks for the useful tip. I really wish they left the vista style nav pane with the middle split for favorites and tree nav. Helpful indeed. Any way to do it from a script? That does the trick for the Windows Explorer but not for File Open and Save dialogs which basically reflect the same things.
Any idea if that can be changed. I tried disabling and re-enabling them. I even changed back the registry values but no luck. Could you please post how to hide My Documents from the navigation pane? I browse my folders using My Computer and some programs tend to expand My Documents and it drives me nuts.
