Hi. I am trying to make some adjustments to group policy on a small network
with Win 2000 Servers and XP Pro workstations. The Windows 2000 servers
have been running for some time originally with 2000 workstations. The
workstations are being replaced with XP Pro workstations which are fresh
installs. I've setup some policies basic policies to distribute some
software and apply some general security settings and everything seems to be
working as expected.
But what I'm struggling to get control of is the desktop and start menu
items. I want to change the default desktop for the users so that by
default it includes My Computer, Documents, Network places etc. I tried
setting User Config\Administrative Templates\Desktop\Remove My Computer icon
on the desktop to Disabled but the icons still don't appear.
Can anyone tell me how I can achieve the following :
- Set Appearance/Theme to Win XP Style (is it possible to specify blue,
green, silver etc ?)
- Display My Comp, My Docs, Network Places etc on the desktop
- Unlock and make the task bar visible, possibly adjust the default icons
which are on it ?
- Remove Windows Catalogue from the top of the start menu for all users
- Clear the Example Most Used programs listed in the start menu.

Thanks for any help,
