Enable/Disable System Properties Access from My Computer

This tweak is especially important for restricting other users from making unnecessary changes to Computer’s System Properties. This tweak actually removes the display of the System Properties via My Computer as well as via Control Panel. For this :

  1. Start -> run ->regedit
  2. go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer
  3. Modify/Create DWORD Value of Data type REG_DWORD named ‘NoPropertiesMyComputer’ (without quotes)
  4. Change the value to 1 to hide the properties. To display the properties change the value to 0
  5. Exit Registry

Now, if you try to see the System Properties of the computer, it won’t be visible.
