Disable the command prompt in windows Xp The command prompt is an important component of the operating system. It has been present since the first versions of Windows and it still lives under the new Windows Vista. Here is a method how to disable it in Windows Xp For Windows XP Professional Windows XP Professional comes with a useful tool called Group Policy Editor (GPEDIT.msc) which permits to set some restrictions and one of this is exactly the one that concerns us. Hence, go to Start > Run and type gpedit.msc. Then go to: User Configuration > Administrative Templates > System > Find Prevent Access To The Command Prompt. Right click on it, select Properties and click Disable. Then OK, and restart your computer. With this option, you disable the access to the command prompt for all the users including the administrator. For Windows XP Home Edition Because Windows XP Home Edition does not provide the Group Policy Editor, we need to edit the registry. Browse the following registry path: HKEY_CURRENT_USER > Software > Policies > Microsoft > Windows > System There, in the right panel you have the DWORD value DisableCMD. Giving it the value 0x00000001 you will disable the command prompt. To enable it back, just change the value to 0x00000002.
