We are in process of being totally locked down by our I.T. Department
as a corporate mandate. Part of this lock down includes the inability
to change (or even have) a desktop wallpaper, and the inability to add
or remove desktop icons (as well as not having admin rights but that's
not part of this question). Being innovatove mechanical engineers we
are looking at ways to avoid the generics we're about to receive.
We do have the rights to create folders locally and we have found ways
to create background in folders. We can make these folder backgrounds
anything we want, and we can add icons for our local applications into
this folder. We can also maximize this folder so it ends up being a
sort of desktop wallpaper and desktop icons without really being
desktop stuff.
Our question is to find out with Windows XP if there is any way to
display a folder maximized and not have the folder list or File and
Folder Tasks menu at the left hand side of the window and can you get
rid of the menu bar and buttons from the top??? Basically we are
trying to find a way to maximize a folder and not have much of
anything 'displayed' except the folder background and the icons (or
contents) of the folder. If it involves installing app's of any kind,
as stated before, we won't have admin rights so that is out.
Any hints or tricks before we end up in our bland generic world???
Thanks!
