Folks:
How do I go about preventing a user from right-mouse clicking the desktop and changing the settings? Is there a Group Policy item that I can invoke to prevent this? thanks! |

gpedit.msc
User config -> Admin templates -> Desktop Enable Active Desktop and you can lock them down so all they can do is just sit there and stare. >-----Original Message----- >Folks: > >How do I go about preventing a user from right-mouse >clicking the desktop and changing the settings?

Hey JButton - thanks!
Actually, in XP Pro, Active Desktop is enabled and then you need to edit the following setting: User config -> Admin templates -> Desktop -> Hide and Disable all items on the desktop.
