"Why I need to set
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer
value to 1?"

If you open the registry to
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer
you will see many entries with self descriptive names such as
"NoControlPanel" and a value of either 0 or 1.
To disable the Control Panel you would change NoControlPanel's value to
1. Make sense?


"Where in the GP that let me hide control panel and task bar?"
User Configuration\Administrative Templates\Control Panel
