Windows XP Professional comes with a useful tool called Group Policy Editor (GPEDIT.msc) which permits to set some restrictions and one of this is exactly the one that concerns us.

Hence, go to Start > Run and type gpedit.msc. Then go to:

User Configuration > Administrative Templates > System > Find Prevent Access To The Command Prompt. Right click on it, select Properties and click Disable. Then OK, and restart your computer.

With this option, you disable the access to the command prompt for all the users including the administrator.

You can completely disable the Windows XP search functionality for a single user. If you just want to do it for the current user, use the following steps:

===========

1. Select the Run option from the Start menu.

2. Type "cmd" and hit Enter.

3. Type "reg Export HKU backup.reg" and hit Enter.

4. Type "reg add HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer /v NoFind /t REG_DWORD /d 1" and hit Enter.

5. Logoff and log back on.

===========

You will notice that you cannot find any options to search anywhere within Windows, after you follow these steps. However, this is only good for the current user. If you want to do this for every user, then you will need to follow these steps for each user listed under the HKEY_USERS hive (include .DEFAULT). You can find these users by typing "reg Query HKU" and hitting Enter. You can ignore any of the entries that end in "_Classes", but for each of the others, replace "HKCU" in step 4 with "HKU\.DEFAULT" (replace .DEFAULT with the user, as needed).
