chiners_68 Posted October 31, 2006 Share Posted October 31, 2006 When you run sysprep with a mini setup after the process has completed you get a windows media player shortcut & an IE link on the desktop. What is the best way to get rid of these as i dont want them on the desktop.? easiest way would be to delete from all users\desktop but unfortunatley it dosent place them here & its not under the default user profile either. It seems to add to the current user but where or what causes it to add to the current user..? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ctrl-X Posted November 8, 2006 Share Posted November 8, 2006 (edited) If registry keys don't exist you can just create them yourself (manually or via a .REG file). Edited November 8, 2006 by Ctrl-X Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
