default desktop icons

[dball63]

Does anyone know how to disable the default desktop icons (Internet Explorer, Internet Connection Wizard, Outlook express, Media Player) from appearing everytime a new user logs onto a PC.
I'd like to keep my desktops a siimple as possible without enableing "Hide all items on desktop"
That they would complain about I'm sure of it. They're pampered attorney's

You can do this with policies and profiles - and there's a registry key called Active Setup under Internet Explorer.

If this sounds like the sort of thing you're trying to do, I'll go through my archives - it's been a while since I did this!

I hope this helps.

I was able to get rid of all of them except Internet Explorer Via registry hack of Defualt user profile.

Thanks....
