Remove programs on Settings menu Prevents Control Panel, Printers, and Network Connections from running. This setting removes the Control Panel, Printers, and Network and Connection folders from Settings on the Start menu, and from Computer and Windows Explorer. It also prevents the programs represented by these folders (such as Control.exe) from running. However, users can still start Control Panel items by using other methods, such as right-clicking the desktop to start Display or right-clicking Computer to start System. Also, see the 'Disable Control Panel,' 'Disable Display in Control Panel,' and 'Remove Network Connections from Start Menu' settings.
