How to block games that come with Windows XP

Playing games for students on the computer is a challenge faced by many information technology instructors. Especially, the classic games that come with Windows are so playable that students are always happy. This semester, we created a new data center with a pre-installed Windows XP operating system. The author deleted all of the built-in games. However, some senior students installed the game again through "Add/delete Windows Components" on the "control panel. Is there a way to completely block Windows XP built-in games?

Unlike Windows 98, Windows XP does not list all components in "Add/delete Windows components", and some components, such as drawing and Wordpad, are hidden, it cannot be deleted or modified at will. We can also hide the "game" component in the "accessories and Tools" so that students cannot install it at will.

First, you can click "Add/delete Windows Components" on the student's machine to delete the Windows game.

Select a student machine, open the Windowsinf folder, and find the Sysoc. inf file. This file records the attributes of each component in "Add/delete Windows Components. Open it with any text editing software (such as NotePad) and find the first line of [Components] Section 2: "Games = ocgen. dll, OcEntry, games. inf, 7 ", change it to" Games = ocgen. dll, OcEntry, games. inf, hide, 7 "(), so that the" game "component has the Hide (hidden) attribute to save files. Open "Add/delete Windows Components" and you will find that "games" are not included in "accessories and Tools". That is to say, students cannot install their own games on Windows. If you need to install the game again in the future, just remove "hide" and restore the original sentence.

Currently, the school data center is usually equipped with electronic classroom software. The edited Sysoc is implemented using the commonly used "file distribution" function of the electronic classroom. the inf file is sent to the Windowsinf folder of another student machine to replace the original file, so that you can completely block the Windows built-in game in the entire machine room.

By modifying the statements in the Sysoc. inf file, you can also detach "backup", "System Restore", "disk compression", and other Windows components that are not suitable for student operations.
