Microsoft Windows graphic

Go directly to Components Wizard

Requirements: At least Microsoft Windows 2000

Location: User Configuration\Control Panel\Add/Remove Programs\


Description:
Prevents users from using Add or Remove Programs to configure installed services.

This setting removes the "Set up services" section of the Add/Remove Windows Components page. The "Set up services" section lists system services that have not been configured and offers users easy access to the configuration tools.

If you disable this setting or do not configure it, "Set up services" appears only when there are unconfigured system services. If you enable this setting, "Set up services" never appears.

This setting does not prevent users from using other methods to configure services.

Note

To remove "Set up services" and prevent the Windows Component Wizard from starting, enable the "Hide Add/Remove Windows Components page" setting. If the "Hide Add/Remove Windows Components page" setting is enabled, this setting is ignored.
