Preventing a user from accessing the desktop... |
|
|
We have a WIn2K3 terminal server user that is strictly a remote user -
dialing in to access one application. I have the user configured on our
windows 2000 SBS AD profile to run the particular app as soon as he logs in.
(under the environment tab of the profile). THis hjas been working fine...
Somehow this morning he got the desktop instead. I haven't figured out how
yet and fortunately I trust this user and he let me know. It could have been
much worse...
How can I prevent this from happening? Is there a way to completely remove
access to the desktop altogether so that this user would have received a
message indicating they were unable to access the desktop??
Thanks,
Brad |

I do use group policy but there isn;t anaything to prevent them from using
the desktop. YOu can disable all icons on teh desktop but can't prevent
access to the desktop completely. Even if you remove access to the icons
they can still access the start menu etc....
ANy other ideas?
