Display Properties Tabs missing (WinXP /Win98)

Written by Fernando Muñoz on 02 June 2005.

I remind that the keys used by GPEDIT are these ones:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\policies\system

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System

In those ones you will find values such as

NoDispSettingsPage

With a Dword value set to ‘1’, the example key should remove “Settings” tab from Display properties. Those tabs in Display properties (Control Panel > Display) are explanatory, but I promise to describe them in forthcoming articles.

The steps from above can be done in an automatic way by downloading this script from our downloads section.
