RE: [ActiveDir] Background
Title: RE: [ActiveDir] Background The whole idea of forcing a background seems like overkill to me. Youd think the same color cubicle walls would be depressing enough :-D. At any rate, the background is just a value in the registry, as is the ability to view the background tab. If you want to lock down the background, change the permissions of the reg key. -m From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of John McGlinchey Sent: Thursday, November 06, 2003 1:51 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] Background In my login script, I copy the standard .bmp file from a network share onto the local workstation.

RE: [ActiveDir] Background
Title: RE: [ActiveDir] Background In many cases, GPOs merely hide the user controls.The APIs are still open to run processes in the user's security context if they are called by other means. Your user may have an application (such as an image editor)that allows themto set a picture as the background image. The only way to prevent the change is by applying the appropriate ACEs to the file system and/or registry. __ Todd Povilaitis LAN Administrator Huntington Hospital [EMAIL PROTECTED] Phone: (626) 397-3392 Fax: (626) 397-2901 -Original Message-From: marcus [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]Sent: Thursday, November 06, 2003 16:58To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] Background The whole idea of forcing a background seems like overkill to me.
