hallo, I work as a internet cafe admin.... i need some help to lock up to windows xp deskstop icon from being change !!! how do i do to always restore/recover back the deskstop icons on each restart ??

Well if your cafe has a domain you should configure domain policy so that

settings are not changed at logoff. Or you could use the domain guest account

with a mandatory profile which means users cant change anything, infact it would be wise to do both.

If the cafe is a workgroup you will have to adjust the local policy on each machine

and lock down all moving and changing of settings. Also you should remove access

to the control panel and run box's

good luck

The cafe is in a workgroup... please guide me how to set the group policy with detail for each client for lock down change the icons on desktop and restore/recover back into original that i can set
