Restrict loading of “Routing and Remote Access” console file.

This setting can disable loading of the console file “Routing and Remote Access” from Administrative Tools section.

Tweak for : Windows XP, Windows 2003, Windows 2000

Description:

The “Routing and Remote Access” provides secure remote access to private networks. It can be accessed from Start > Control Panel > Administrative Tools. But, with this setting you can restrict loading of this console file from Administrative Tools section.

For this, go to Start > Run menu, enter “regedit” and navigate to the registry path listed below. If any of the subkeys “\MMC\{1AA7F839-C7F5-11D0-A376-00C04FC9DA04}” 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 console file. However, if you want to enable back the snap-in, delete the subkey “{1AA7F839-C7F5-11D0-A376-00C04FC9DA04}”.

The changes take effect after a restart or logoff.
