Hello Rob,
Based on my knowledge, it seems there is no way to do this.
Thanks & Regards,

| We use the all users desktop folder to ensure that icons are available to
| everyone that logs in. Anything we put in the "all users desktop" folder
| show up on the desktop of everyone that logs in.
|
| Using a third party program would require installation on all of these
| systems. What I really want is a way to shut off the "all users desktop"
for
| one and only one user profile. I still want all of my other users to have
| access to the "all users desktop". I'd like to do this by editing the one
| profile instead of installing software or configuring every computer.
|
| Maybe I need to ask this question in the group policy forum.
