Items on the administrator desktop end up on all user desktop after it goes
through the sysprep. How can I keep this from happening.
OS: Windows XP SP2
Sysprep Tool: Ver. 2.0 (inf file has no reference to copy items to all users
and has just the basic unattended info with no GuiRunOnce items)
There are no batch files or script calls for items to be copied to the All
Users Desktop.
When I create images for deployment, I place items and shortcuts to
locations on the Local Admin Desktop so Admins can finalize the image for the
end users needs or for hardware differences. When I create these shortcuts
they are created on the Admin Desktop only and no other location has them.
What causes these Icons to be copied to the all users desktop.

Found my own answer. This file will bring back the behavior of Admin Desktop
that was in XP SP1 and not be copied to the Default User.

it)
