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 fsmgmt.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. Shared folders can be used to manage shared resources over a network. With shared folders you can control user access permissions, session activity, and shared resource properties. 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\{58221c65-ea27-11cf-adcf-00aa00a80033} 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 {58221c65-ea27-11cf-adcf-00aa00a80033}. The changes take effect after a restart or logoff.
