rudi Posted March 7, 2008 Share Posted March 7, 2008 Hello all,Can anybody tell me how to delete the icons of printer & Windows Firewall in control panel?OS: win xp sp2Thanks!firewall is the applet "firewall.cpl", moving it away might do the job (currently sitting at a Win2k, so I can't check)Another approach might be gpedit.msc, check out the tons of options there as well.Regards, Rudi.
