Hello,



I have a Citrix Metaframe server, and have everything pretty well dialed
in, except one ornery app that keeps insisting on adding icons to my new
user's desktop when their profile is created.



Is there any GPO where I can say "Only include these desktop icons:".



Hmm, I wonder if I could just use folder redirection here with Read Only
rights, then the creation would fail. Might throw up an error
though...hmm..
 
Take a look in c:\documents and settings\default user\desktop... see if those icons appear there. that might be the quick and easy fix for this

Yeah - no, it's not in there. The app actively runs a process when a
user first logs in and puts it there. I think it's an option that I
missed during the app install - to tell it not to do this. I was
thinking however, that it would be nice, in a global sense anyway, to be
able to control all icons via a GPO. Just a shot in the dark - not a
big deal.



Thanks
