 * Disable Windows Media Center from running**

You may love Windows Media Center, but what if you have a small business and you don't want an employee to be able to use this feature? If the system is running Windows 7 Pro, Enterprise or Ultimate, you can prevent it from running via Group Policy:

But there's an easier way, and it works with Home Premium as well as the high-end editions of Windows 7. In Control Panel, go to **Programs and Features**, click **Turn Windows features on or off** in the left pane, scroll down to **Media Features** and uncheck the box that says **Windows Media Center**. Click **Yes** when asked if you want to continue. Click **OK**, then restart the computer for the change to take effect.
 * 1) Type "**gpedit.msc**" in the Search/Run box
 * 2) Navigate to **User Configuration | Administrative Templates | Windows Components | Windows Media Center**
 * 3) In the right pane, double-click **Do not allow Windows Media Center to run**
 * 4) Click **Enable** and then **OK**
