you have to use a gpo policy.. not sure where it is.. but some where under the desktop configuration i believe that says do not allow users to change location of my documents...


 
to be exact it is under gpo policy > user config. > admin. templates > desktop > prohibit users from changing my documents path... Enable this


good luck
 
errr.. i see now it must have been late when I wrote this..

I mean.. they like to change the folder options..

'customize this folder' ie.. add a background to it..

they have to have read/write/modify priveledges. .but how do I remove the ability to change the background? ie customize this folder?

One way to do it is remove the folder options menu from the tools menu in windows explorer by using GPO policy. user config > admin templates > windows components > Window explorer > remove the folder options menu item from the tools menu ... enable this setting


good luck
