Hello there

Is there a way to remove the "Printers and faxes" from the start menu of
windows XP machines using Group policy?
I remove everything else, but I did not find any related settings to this
specific one

Any ideas?
Thanks in advance

Sameh
 
thanks a lot
was hoping to find something built-in in the GP
machines move frequently between OUs
was not if altering the ADM is a good idea
 
There isn't a way to do this specifically, but you can achieve the net effect
by doing the following:

Group policy > User Config > Admin Templates > Printers > Prevent addition
of printers.


Group policy > User Config > Admin Templates > Printers > Prevent deletion
of printers.
 
yes you are right
the problem is
when you do that
even if you prevent my computer and all drives they will be able to search
the hard drives by pressing CTRL and E then search!
