question:desktop configuration for all users

[nybin75]

hi

i was just wondering if there is a way to add the icons such as "My Computer, Internet Explorer, My Documents,My Network Place" on the desktop for the all users.

every time i add an user on my pc.

there is just only recycle bin icon on the new user's desktop and i have to add the icons from the display properties.

is there any way to add the icons on the new user's desktop automatically?

so i dont have to add the icons from the display properties.

if you right click on the taskbar and then do properties, and go to the start menu tab and select the Classic Start Menu, it will add all those icons for you on the desktop.

thanks for give me some idea....

but it doesnt help me....

your way is just for logged user....

what i am looking for is the way applies to all users even u just creat one.

i heard that there is a way to do that with local policy

The "official" way to design new user desktops would be to use the Group Policy editor. {gpedit.msc}

However, you may get the results you need by simply adding the icons to the "default user" profile. And either copy the profile to new users, or -- and I'm guessing -- the Icons will just show up when you create new accounts.

I just double checked, the "default user" thing -work, but the Icons show up as shrotcuts, not native 'system icons'... hope that's good enough....
