Restricting Access to Password Properties

Options to restrict access to password properties are placed in the Registry in the key:

A value set to 0x00000001 disables access; deleting the value or setting it to 0 enables access.

NoSecCPL - Disable Passwords Control Panel. If the value is set to 1, the Passwords Properties property sheet is not accessible.

NoPwdPage - Hide Change Password Page. If the value is set to 1, the Change Passwords property page on the Passwords Properties sheet is hidden.

NoAdminPage - Hide Remote Administration Page. If the value is set to 1, the Remote Administration property page on the Passwords Properties property sheet is hidden.

NoProfilePage - Hide User Profiles Page. If the Value is set to 1, the Profile property page on the Passwords Properties property sheet is hidden.
