Description:

“Performance Logs and Alerts” supports detailed monitoring of the utilization of operating system resources. It can be accessed from Start > Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Performance. But, with this setting you can hide this snap-in from Performance console file.

For this, go to Start > Run menu, enter “regedit” and navigate to the registry path listed below. If any of the subkeys “\MMC\{7478EF61-8C46-11d1-8D99-00A0C913CAD4}” 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 “{7478EF61-8C46-11d1-8D99-00A0C913CAD4}”.

The changes take effect after a restart or logoff.
