I have a question regarding Windows Registry editor. I have disabled the settings window, wallpaper change and control panel via several DWORDs in the Windows Registry.
This works just fine in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, which disables the aforementioned features for all the PC users, including the admin. Meaning that when in the admin account, I have to disable the DWORDs in order to gain access again to the control panel (as an example).
Setting the same DWORDs in the HKEY_CURRENT_USER does not work. I wonder why. The way I see it is it either disables the features for all users or enables them for everyone. Using HKEY_CURRENT_USER to disable them for a specific user is not working.
Did I misunderstand the usage of HKEY_CURRENT_USER registry?
