35501 2002-02-13 04:46:00 Is there any way to remove the my computer / recycle bin / my network places icons from the desktop of a single user in win2000 pro? I also need to be able to remove access to the settings & run menus from the start menu. If it is possible i would also like to remove the programs menu, so that the only items available are shut-down and log-off, and a couple of programs that i want the user to have access to.

I would also like to restrict the display control panel so right-clicking the desktop and hitting properties does not load the display panel.

I also need to remove the ability to change the system time.

If someone could assist in these matters, that would be good.

Cheers,
Jimbob

Microsoft do make a wee program called 'poledit' or system policy editor.

I had a quick look on my CD only to find its no longer included. Although a search on the net should reveal a source. There are 3rd party programs like 'Tweakui' and 'Xsetup' that also do the same job and shareware versions are available from place like www.download.com

Hope this helps

Run MMC(Microsoft Management Console)and ya should be sweet to create heaps of havoc on your PC!

Of the above requirements you want, you probably only need to use the following folders:

'Desktop' & 'StartMenu & Taskbar' & 'Control Panel'

If deciding to disable Program Menus, then as a caution may disrupt many user profiles aswell.
