| Dear All,
i have the following situation in my company.
its consist of multiple departements, and each departement require specific
configurations.
The only thing which will be implement for all of them is that we are going
to Disable or Hide All The Disktop Shortcuts from there machine completely
and we don not want to have any thing for them appear on the Disktop &
Disable the Start menu , with Some exceptions as the following :-
First Departement :-
1- ( Accountant Departement ).
=====================
1- only Excel & Outlook & Word will be install on there Machines.- Locally
- Not using Group Policy .
2- They have also only one application which is Also installed on there
Machine and its using Database server , and they have a shortcut that
installed on there machine - using TNS name -.
3-They have a lot of softwares installed on there there machines like for
example Yahoo Messenger, Hotmail messngers, Games, and we do not want to
have
all of this softwares installed on there machines.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
To implement all of that , i did the following :-
A- For Excel, Word & Outlook installation, i will do a dministrative Point
of installation and i will have specifc configurations for each departement,
over the sahred server network.
2- For All the Departement, we do not need to have any thing Appear in the
Desktops, that is using Group Policy.
Here is My questions,
If i made under the Group Policy, One Policy for all the Domain , and i Hide
the Complete Desktop from the Users, i will find that every thing from the
users will be disabled, which is i do not want.
I want to disable every thing , even the Start Menu, but i want to have only
the Word, Excel, Outlook , And the Financial application Software , And My
Computer only on there Desktop.
How can i implement this ?
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

| Perhaps others have ideas but this sounds like a two fold thing. Part
of it you do thru group policies and the other part you are going to
have to create a desktop build. For instance
We are developing and XP build where the user cannot create or store
items on their desktop. TO accomplish this I created on our build a
desktop folder under the root of C: and gave users read access to this
folder.. Then redirected the desktop thru policy to this folder. This
affectively locked down the desktop where only icons in the All user
profile would show up on the desktop.
