disgruntled_clientele Posted January 15, 2006 Share Posted January 15, 2006 Hi. I am trying to create a new image but the problem I am running into is that after sysprep runs, it places a windows media player icon on the desktop, start ment, and quick launch bar when anyone logs in for the first time. Before sysprep, none of these icons were there. Also, I arranged the internet explorer and outlook express icons in a folder called "Internet Explorer" on the all users's start menu before I sysprepped and imaged. They keep reappearing on the start menu's programs folder.Any way to prevent this?Thanks in advance.dc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

disgruntled_clientele Posted January 15, 2006 Author Share Posted January 15, 2006 StubPath in the registry ...I searched the registry for StubPath and found numerous instances. Do I just delete the values for StubPath under the keys for Windows Media Player et al?Thanks,dc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beezer Posted February 2, 2006 Share Posted February 2, 2006 You need to edit the desktop.ini file under Documents and Settings\Default User\Start Menu\Programs and remove any references to OE, Media Player, etc.You'll need to change your view to unhide the protected OS files in order to see the desktop.ini. Just make sure you change the view back after you are done if you don't want your end users to see those files. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BryanP Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 You can stop all those items in the local policy, in the run box type gpedit.msc and hit enter, then have fun there is lots there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
