Canonical Names for Windows 7 Control Panel

Obviously you don't want all users to be able to access every item inside of the Control Panel.

So in Group Policy you can set which items are visible/hidden. To do this in GP go to: "User Configuration" > "Policies" > "Administrative Templates" > "Control Panel"

Edit the policy with the Canonical names of the C Panel items.

The format from what I have seen is:
Default windows items have "Microsoft." at the start and no spaces in the name. For example "Microsoft.WindowsFirewall"
For everything else it is it's name as seen in the C Panel. For example "Configuration Manager" or "Mail"
