A. It is possible to tighten security on shared system resourceattributes, such as the attributes of COM1: or of printers. By tightening basesecurity, these shared resources will be administered only by systemadministrators.
To enable this perform the following:
Start the registry editor (regedit.exe)
Move to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESYSTEMCurrentControlSetControlSession Manager
From the Edit menu select New - DWORD value and enter a name ofProtectionMode if it does not already exist
Double click the value and set to 1. Click OK
Reboot the computer
