Date/Time Lock Option

Hi,  Just wondering if anyone knows a way to lock the "Change Date & Time" option so people using the same computer cannot just go in and change the time etc in the control panel.  I searched for the answer under help to no avail.  Any suggestions would be appreciated.  The operating system is Windows XP.  Thank you.

    slmosc,

    Delete the file timedate.cpl in C:\Windows\System32. If you need to access it again you can replace it by going to Start|Run, entering cmd and clicking OK. At the command prompt enter the following (substitute the drive letter of your CD-ROM drive for X) with the XP CD-ROM in the drive:

    expand x:\i386\timedate.cp_ c:\windows\system32\timedate.cpl

    (There is a space between cp) and c:\.)
