I have been trying to deny access to services.msc and msconfig on a local win 7 machine and I can't figure out how. I'd like to roll it out to standard user level, I have tried editing file permissions but it's not changeable. Also had a look through group policies and local security policies but again found nothing. Help please
Standard users cannot access services.msc nor msconfig already. Administrator privileges are required.
I am in the standard user account now and quite happily playing with services, I can't get on to msconfig tho Edit:: I started one service but I am now locked out of everything
Tried that, it won't like me change permission for any level account. I have just tried that on my other computer and I can make the changes... Wonder if because it's a Home Edition it has some for of restrictions?
Well you screwed up your Windows. Because here (and I work, where I setup theses things) there is no issue.
It's the computer in the lads room, I have noticed some odd things here and there I think it might be time for a reinstall on that computer anyway.
Standard users have access to service control amongst other things, but they can't make too many changes. Also, if your son has physical access to the machine, all bets are off on security and preventing him from changing things. Best bet is to tell him not to make any changes, and hope he listens to you. When he doesn't listen to you install Ubuntu.
He's not very computer savvy, but again all you have to do is google bypass windows family safety filter and it comes up with various ways of getting past it. Just trying to cover a few angles.
