Command Prompt Question

Expand Post »
Hello everyone. I have a pretty simple question. I was wondering if there was a way to disable access to the command prompt for users on a machine while still allowing administrators full access. Any ideas?

Re: Command Prompt Question

You could go to c:\windows\system32 and locate the cmd file.

right click and select security tab, and add and remove access as required.

I don't know if it will work, because I haven't tested it, but I should think it will

Re: Command Prompt Question

Well, I'm using Windows XP Professional so I'll give it a try. Wonder if there's a way for XP Home?

Re: Command Prompt Question

I would use Tweak or X-Setup or Group Policy Editor to restrict access to cmd.
