Restrict loading of “Component Services” snap-in into MMC.

MMC can load various snap-ins that are used to simplify system management tasks of daily routine. This setting can disable loading of the snap-in “Component Services” into MMC.

Tweak for : Windows XP, Windows 2003, Windows 2000, Windows Vista

Description:

Microsoft Management Console tries to simplify system management tasks of daily routine. It has applications, which have been built with modules. These applications, called snap-ins, can be added to a program that works independently or as a part of the bigger application. Say, if you run “\windows\system32\com\comexp.msc” from Start > Run menu, you are loading the snap-in from the basic framework (MMC). MMC provides system administrators an adaptable interface to view the system and set it up.

The “Component Services” is a COM+ management tool. This setting can restrict loading of this snap-in into the MMC.

For this, go to Start > Run menu, enter “regedit” and navigate to the registry path listed below. If any of the subkeys “\MMC\{C9BC92DF-5B9A-11D1-8F00-00C04FC2C17B}” does not exist, create them as explained below. Then, create a string value “Restrict_Run” in the right panel.

Now, right-click and modify its value to “1” which can disable snap-in. However, if you want to enable back the snap-in, delete the subkey “{C9BC92DF-5B9A-11D1-8F00-00C04FC2C17B}”.

The changes take effect after a restart or logoff.
