GPO to enable mouse in control panel

[nogarap]

Hi,
I work on a very locked down network, and we use the GPO restriction to only show specified control applets. My users want mouse properties, which is fine, so they can change to lefthanded mouse if they want.
However, if I add main.cpl to the list of applets, they get keyboard properties as well, which is a no-no. We have schools of disabled kids, and most of our support is remote, so people can do a lot of damage changing keyboards to russian or whatever. I've tried adding main.cpl with switches such as 'main.cpl @0', and nothing shows, no mouse, no keyboard.
I know there's lots of educational people on here, so I hope someone else has been here. I'm deploying these policies/upgrading a school network next monday, heh heh.
Many TIA

Using main.cpl will add other device controls to the user. I do not know of your mouse manufacturer, but Microsft and I believe Logitech both offer stand-alone applets for just mouse control.

Thanks bcastner for that. I'll have a look at that the next time I'm updating my images. Unfortunately, it doesn't help me here, as my images are signed off now, and any extra stuff will have to doen through GPO's.
