Disable access to a command shell In an environment where the desktop is dedicated to a defined set of tasks it may be desirable to disable access to a command shell to prevent users from engaging in tasks that were not intended or authorized; hence, it is strongly recommended to disable access to a command shell if the desktop is to act as a public terminal.
