I am trying to lockdown a desktop so the user only sees the icons placed on the desktop. Is there a way to hide the start button or the entire taskbar. I dont mean autohide as I dont want it to be visible at all. Thanks in advance for your assistance.

Jim

I believe you can do that with Group Policies

its not an option in the group poicy editor

drag the taskbar below and lock it

simple

ehehheheheh

Do what you say, and then press <Ctrl>+<Esc>...

Viper99, there are keys in the registry to really lock that taskbar, and it's easy found with google... or take a look at the "registry tweaks" threads in this board, and use the "quick search in this topic" feature (at the very bottom of the posts view)

bye

u mean to lock

why don't u try group policy

there is a option

try to search deeply

u can first drag taskbar below the screen and lock the desktop from grp policy

I mean so you dont see the taskbar or remove the start button from the taskbar. I did not see anything in group policy that would do that.

Ugh.. Try Reading the whole post before replying with your nonsense

Have a look at this: http://www.codeproject.com/win32/AntonioWinLock.asp

You can find a sample program and also the code for it, in case you want to write a program yourself. Otherwise, try the sample tool, maybe it meets your needs.

I will give this a shot...
