NO NO NO!!!
I can not do that, becouse ewery user hase no permition to change it
and even when i'm changing it as a administartor it does no work
becouse user is a domain user, not a local user. So only what i can do
to change some registry key. Which one???

Which one???

hmm.. Investigate!

NoDesktopCleanupWizard: (Group Policy)
http://technet2.microsoft.com/Windo...c4f8-4364-8a9a-73058dcf5e231033.mspx?mfr=true

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer]
NoDesktopCleanupWizard


-or-

Disabling the option in the UI changes the "NoRun" value here, which of
course is a per-user setting

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Desktop\CleanupWiz]
Value name: "NoRun"
Value Type: REG_DWORD
Data : 0x00000001
