Stopping the users from varying desktops?

leshter · 05-06-2009, 11:07 AM

How can I avoid the domain user who is using Win XP from building up any kind of changes to the desktop such as moving of icons, deleting icons, adding shortcuts, etc. I would also be grateful for a step-by-step guide on how to use the Group Policies under a windows server 2003 to do that.

You might just go into the users profile (under c:\documents and settings\*profile name*) and then rename the ntuser.dat to ntuser.man. They will yet be able to alter everything which is been mentioned above, but when they log back in, it will be set back to the way it was set before that file was renamed.
