Hi guys,

how can you disable shortcuts using group policy.
(Windows + e => explorer)

I scanned all the group policy options without any luck, googled alot but could not find anything.

Who can help me, because this is a serieus security threat in our production environment.

Thank you,

Regards

Hans
 
Sorry guys,

in the new SP2 .ADM files there is a setting :

System USER Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Windows Explorer

Turn off Windows+X hotkeys

At least Microsoft Windows Server 2003 Turn off Windows+X hotkeys. Keyboards with a Windows key provide users with shortcuts to common shell features. For example, pressing the keyboard sequence Windows+R opens the Run dialog box; pressing Windows+E starts Windows Explorer. By using this setting, you can disable these Windows+X shortcut keys. If you enable this setting, the Windows+X shortcut keys are unavailable. If you disable or do not configure this setting, the Windows+X shortcut keys are available. HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Network!NoWinKeys
