How do you lock the desktop

[Guest]

I was wondering how do you prevent users from deleting and moving shortcuts
on the desktop.

I was also wondering how do you prevent users from saving to the desktop
without locking the whole C:/ drive.

I am using gpedit.msc, Microsoft's Shared Computer Toolkit, as well as the
security tab in the properties control panel to lock down library computers
but I am not able to find settings for the above two opperations.

Thanks a million.

Joe.

You should post your question in the Microsoft sharedaccess newsgroup which
currently is closely monitored by Microsoft with timely and helpful replies.
Offhand I don't think it works well if you try to use both gpedit and Shared
Computer Toolkit. If using Shared Computer Toolkit it is best to try and do
everything through it. I know there is also an option to lock a profile. In
normal situations you can change the NTFS permissions on the desktop folder
for the user to be only read/list/execute. Then the user will not be able to
create desktop shortcuts. --- Steve
