"Get Programs" in Control Panel

Question

Hi!
I came across the "Get Programs" option in the Control Panel of a client connected to AD DS. I would like to use this feature, but can't find documentation for this anywhere. I am most interested in its configuration.
The only help I found was: http://hs.windows.microsoft.com/hhweb/content/m-pl-pl_en-us/p-6.2/id-fe7ea80e-52a2-48d6-947a-05e02e78bc37/#
But I still don't know how to configure it
Thank you for helping!

Hello Krystian,

Here's how you can hide and enable Get Programs in control panel.

This setting prevents users from accessing the "Get Programs" page from the Programs Control Panel in Category View, Programs and Features in Classic View and the "Install a program from the netowrk" task. The "Get Programs" page lists published programs and provides an easy way to install them.

To enable it , Open Registry (Type reg.edit in Run ) and follow below path,

Registry Hive HKEY_CURRENT_USER
Registry Path Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Programs
Value Name NoGetPrograms
Value Type REG_DWORD
Enabled Value 1
Disabled Value 0

At Last, to open Get Programs you can use "appwiz.cpl" command.
