Hi Doug, In our cleanup script we tend to move them to a IT Tools or Information Systems folder, depending on what the customer prefers. Here is an extract from the cleanup script. Watch for line wrap. ----------start of script---------------- SET ITToolsFolder=IT Tools ::SET ITToolsFolder=Information Systems IF NOT EXIST "%ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Start Menu\Programs\%ITToolsFolder% MD "%ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Start Menu\Programs\%ITToolsFolder% XCOPY /I /Q /K /O /Y "%ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Start Menu\Programs\Administrative Tools" "%ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Start Menu\Programs\%ITToolsFolder%\Administrative Tools" RMDIR /S /Q "%ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Start Menu\Programs\Administrative Tools" ----------end of script---------------- Then you can either set permissions via cacls, xcacls, or a group policy to prevent users from accessing these tools. Cheers.

It will then only show up for the admin. JK On 1/29/07, Stratton, Doug ISMC:EX <Doug.M.Stratton@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: We have a w2k3 sp1 server. Users are able to turn on the option to view System Administrator Tools. In the past somehow we prevented anything from showing up under it. Now regular users can see all the tools. Is there GPO to prevent this? Or some other files? I know we restricted the cpl stuff with gpo.
