WOW! Both answers are spot on. For new images I will use the Access method, but the shmgrate.exe methopd allows me to push that policy to existing users. Any thoughts on what registry settings the access method tickles? Strangely enough for some users I need to be able to block access to IE but for others they'll get it but only through a shortcut applied through a GPO setting the homepage, favourites etc. Much appreciate the fast replies, you've saved me a lot of work. Thanks JWT

Problem I have is if a new user uses a pc XP automatically generates an Internet Explorer icon and a Media player icon in the Start\programs menu. Have killed these in "all users" and scoured the registry for references but found none. The only fix appears to be running a script at user logon deleting the lnk files in %username% folders. Any thoughts on where to kill the icons either through Group policy or in the registry? Thanks JWT
