"Hides all Control Panel items and folders except those specified in this setting.

This setting removes all Control Panel items (such as Network) and folders (such as Fonts) from the Control Panel window and the Start menu. It removes Control Panel items you have added to your system, as well the Control Panel items included in Windows 2000 and Windows XP Professional. The only items displayed in Control Panel are those you specify in this setting.

To display a Control Panel item, type the file name of the item, such as Ncpa.cpl (for Network). To display a folder, type the folder name, such as Fonts.

This setting affects the Start menu and Control Panel window only. It does not prevent users from running any Control Panel items.

Also, see the "Remove Display in Control Panel" setting in User Configuration\Administrative Templates\Control Panel\Display.

If both the "Hide specified Control Panel applets" setting and the "Show only specified Control Panel applets" setting are enabled, the "Show only specified Control Panel applets" setting is ignored.

Tip: To find the file name of a Control Panel item, search for files with the .cpl file name extension in the %Systemroot%\System32 directory."
