Group policy

[Hasan]

Hi There,

I m using Terminal server for windows 2000 and when the
client connect to the server, it is getting all desktop.
I want them to see the icon which they have to use not
any thing else.
How i can do that, i tried for a group policy but could
not.
If any body help, it will be great for me.

Thanks
Hasan

There are a number of great policies you can throw on a

Terminal SErver (I believe there is a good Q article on
it as well.....). Anyway, you can hide all desktop icons
and then have the application auto-start or have the
shortcut in the Quick Launch bar..

Here is some background info that may assist as well:

The interval at which a group policy is refreshed is defined by a refresh
interval value and an offset interval value. The refresh interval is an
amount of time between 0 (zero) and 64800 minutes (45 days), which is used
to determine when the group policy should be applied next. By default, if
the administrator does not modify the default setting, Windows 2000-based
computers use 90-minute intervals. For domain controllers, the default is 5
minutes. This default for domain controllers is used because when a change
to domain policy or rights is made, this reduces the latency in applying the
change to domain controllers as replication occurs. If 0 (zero) is specified
for the refresh interval, the refresh occurs in 7-second intervals.
