Remove the individual pref panes from /System/Library/PreferencePanes.

thank you. but this would remove the pref panes from all accounts, right?
we would like to keep all pref panes for when the admin user has to log in
to configure network settings and such and yet when "guest" logs in he
can't change certain settings.

thanks

Re: hiding prefs in in system prefs

actually, I just had an idea. I might try changing the preferences of the
particular pref panes that we want to hide so that admin can read write and
execute, but guest has no privs. we'll see what happens.
