Disable Themes Tab in Desktop Properties:</a> Open regedit and goto:HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\ Explorer If “Explorer” key is not present, then create it. Now in right-side pane, create a new DWORD value NoThemesTab and set its value to 1 to disable it.<a href="http://www.askvg.com/" target="_blank"><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v374/vishaal_here/Restricted_XP_Themes.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></a> <a href="http://www.askvg.com/" target="_blank">B. Disable Desktop Tab in Desktop Properties:</a> Open regedit and goto:HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\ System If “System” key is not present, then create it. Now in right-side pane, create a new DWORD value NoDispBackgroundPage and set its value to 1 to disable it.<a href="http://www.askvg.com/" target="_blank"><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v374/vishaal_here/Restricted_XP_Desktop.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></a> <a href="http://www.askvg.com/" target="_blank">C. Disable Screen Saver Tab in Desktop Properties:</a> Open regedit and goto:HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\ System If “System” key is not present, then create it. Now in right-side pane, create a new DWORD value NoDispScrSavPage and set its value to 1 to disable it.<a href="http://www.askvg.com/" target="_blank"><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v374/vishaal_here/Restricted_XP_Screen_Saver.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></a> <a href="http://www.askvg.com/" target="_blank">D. Disable both Themes and Appearance Tabs in Desktop Properties:</a> Open regedit and goto:HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\ System If “System” key is not present, then create it. Now in right-side pane, create a new DWORD value NoDispAppearancePage and set its value to 1 to disable it.<a href="http://www.askvg.com/" target="_blank"><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v374/vishaal_here/Restricted_XP_Appearance.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></a> <a href="http://www.askvg.com/" target="_blank">E. Disable Settings Tab in Desktop Properties:</a> Open regedit and goto:HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\ System If “System” key is not present, then create it. Now in right-side pane, create a new DWORD value NoDispSettingsPage and set its value to 1 to disable it.<a href="http://www.askvg.com/" target="_blank"><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v374/vishaal_here/Restricted_XP_Settings.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></a><a href="http://www.askvg.com/" target="_blank">NOTE:</a> When you’ll disable all above mentioned tabs in Desktop Properties. You’ll get a similar Desktop Properties window as shown in following screenshots: Windows XP Desktop Properties Window with all Restrictions Enabled:<a href="http://www.askvg.com/" target="_blank"><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v374/vishaal_here/Restricted_XP_Desktop_Properties.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></a>Windows Vista Desktop Properties Window with all Restrictions Enabled:<a href="http://www.askvg.com/" target="_blank"><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v374/vishaal_here/Restricted_Vista_Desktop_Properties.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></a><a href="http://www.askvg.com/" target="_blank">BONUS TIP:</a> In case you want to enable a restricted tab in Desktop Properties, just delete the required DWORD value as mentioned above or change its value to 0 instead of 1.</blockquote>
