Hey guys,
I am redirecting the Start Menu and Desktop, and this is working great. However, I've found that Icons in the All Users profile will also apply to the users desktop. This results in duplicate icons. I want to only redirect to the desktop I have designed. What must be enabled in Group Policy to deny the All Users Desktop from applying?

Thanks
 
it applies to all users, thats the problem....
remove all icons in the allusers desktop folder....

There is a policy that will prevent this.

User Configuration/Administrative Templates/Start Menu and Taskbar

Remove common program groups from Start Menu

That should do it.
