Does anyone know of a way to disable access to Microsoft help? I am trying to build a secure system and I know that it can be used to access control panels that have been disabled in some other way. Any help is appreciated.

Even if a user gained access to the control panel, the user won't be having sufficient privileges to manipulate system configuration ... {assuming that you assigned usual restricted user account..}
Are you trying to build your own secured system .... like letting someone work under admin account , but yet not able to gain access to admin tools ....
Well, I am not sure what operating system you are using but you used to be able to rename or delete the help folder. Otherwise you can remove or rename the .hlp files.
It used to be fairly common back in the days of small hard drives, if you knew your OS and Apps.

What I am talking about is even when I have disabled the control panel through the registry, I can still get into some of the panels, such as services, and edit the properties, even without an admin account.
You could change permssions/remove the file asscociation type for .chm's in HKCR.
