Sure, and if its only the pretty things, I don't really mind. But why
remove the 'Network' applet from the control panal ?

The key by the way is "HK_C_U\Control Panel\don't load", easy enough to
find and easy enough to reverse but you will need to do it every time you
go from W2K to NT. Better look at doing it in a policy...
