Disable all items
User Configuration\AdministrativeTemplates\Desktop\Active Desktop
Description
Removes Active Desktop content and prevents users from adding Active Desktop
content.
This policy removes all Active Desktop items from the desktop. It also
removes the Web tab from Display in Control Panel and removes the New
Desktop Item command from the Active Desktop menu. As a result, users cannot
add Web pages or pictures from the Internet or an intranet to the desktop.
This policy does not disable Active Desktop. Users can still use image
formats, such as JPEG and GIF, for their desktop wallpaper.
To make changes to this policy effective, you must log off of Windows 2000
and then log on again. (The Explain tab in Group Policy fails to mention
this requirement.)
Add/Delete items
User Configuration\AdministrativeTemplates\Desktop\Active Desktop
Description
Adds and deletes specified Web content items.
You can use the Add box in this policy to add particular Web-based items or
shortcuts to users' desktops. Users can close or delete the items (if
policies allow), but the items are added again each time the policy is
refreshed.
You can also use this policy to delete particular Web-based items from
users' desktops. Users can add the item again (if policies allow), but the
item is deleted each time the policy is refreshed.
Removing an item from the Add list for this policy is not the same as
deleting it. Items removed from the add list are not removed from the
desktop. They are just not added again.
To make changes to this policy effective, you must log off of Windows 2000
and then log on again. (The Explain tab in Group Policy fails to mention
this requirement.)
