It's not particularly helpful to tell people that the problem they are
trying to fix isn't that big of a deal and they are wasting their time.
I don't think any of us but Mitch know the full circumstances behind why
it's something they want to fix and honestly it doesn't really matter
why. Let's try to keep the responses constructive and helpful,
regardless of our personal feelings on if an issue is important or not.

Well I know that there may be but do you know anyway of performing this
task. You're not helping me much Karl besides laughing and making the
broken rib hurt even more.

I think your time would be better spent, having your teachers learn to
watch the labs, I realize this is a stretch, but there are WAAAY bigger
fish to fry than desktop pics.

1) Anything that is in the world when you're born is normal and ordinary
and is just a natural part of the way the world works.
2) Anything that's invented between when you're 15 and 35 is new and
exciting and revolutionary and you can probably get a career in it.
3) Anything invented after you're 35 is again the natural order of
things

I think the better question is... Is it really worth the time and effort
to keep kids from changing desktop pictures?

Without taking away right click you are better off using the BGinfo
program. You set it so the desktop you want is the default on startup.
The kids will be able to change it, but after a reboot it will be back
to the default

Subject: [info-tech] Group Policy Question
We are looking for a way to stop students from changing
background on laptops using group policy. I found all the group policy
features but when a student finds a picture they like they still can
right click and set as desktop background. is there a way to stop that
even without having to disable right clicking feature.
