Showing “Mail” icon in control panel through Group Policy
I recently had to lock down a Windows 2008R2 remote desktop server
(terminal server)
One of the requirements was to show only some control panel items, a
setting that can be achieved using the Group Policy setting “Show only
specified Control Panel items” (under Policies > Administrative
Templates > Control Panel), but that setting requires the applet’s
canonical name, like Microsoft.Mouse. All applets included with
Windows have their own canonical names, found in this article
I couldn’t find the mail icon’s canonical name anywhere, and eventually
found out that writing down the applet’s filename - mlcfg32.cpl is
enough.
