Description:
Microsoft management console tries to simplify system management tasks of daily routine. It has applications, which have been built with modules. These applications, called snap-ins, can be added to a program that works independently or as a part of the bigger application. Say, if you run iis.msc from start > run menu, you are loading the snap-in from the basic framework (mmc). Mmc provides system administrators an adaptable interface to view the system and set it up. This snap-in can administer the microsoft internet information services (iis). But, with this setting you can restrict loading of this snap-in into the mmc. For this, go to start > run menu, enter regedit and navigate to the registry path listed below. If any of the subkeys \mmc\{a841b6c2-7577-11d0-bb1f-00a0c922e79c} 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 {a841b6c2-7577-11d0-bb1f-00a0c922e79c}. The changes take effect after a restart or logoff.
