RE: Hide windows libraries
I hear ya.
I think it would be great for MS to redesign so that FAV folders stayed
PINNED to the window so they were always avail I shouldn't have to scroll
up each time to find them. I mean, they are FAVORITES, shouldn't they
always be accessible, isn't that the point?
Rant over :)

I think that it is high time MS gave us some GPOs to manage libraries. There
will be many Win7 / 2008 R2 RDS deployments starting and we all know users
who can't cope when something changes. Reg key hacks and stripping perms
with subinacl really isn't a good way to be managing these sort of
modifications to a new desktop environment, IMHO.

Subject: Hide windows libraries
Folks,
What are you doing to hide the Windows Libraries feature from your
users? We are moving to Win 7 and for now plan to keep it hidden.
I know I can disable this via a registry key, but it won't apply via
GPO/script since you have to manually change the key's permissions
first. Or is there a way to change perms via a GPO?
Key I am using is:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{031E4825-7B94-4dc3-B131-E946B44C8DD5}\ShellFol
der]
"QueryForOverlay"=""
"HideOnDesktopPerUser"=""
"PinToNameSpaceTree"=""
"Attributes"=dword:b080010d
Suggestions appreciated.
Tom

Re: Hide windows libraries
I think that it is high time MS gave us some GPOs to manage libraries. There
will be many Win7 / 2008 R2 RDS deployments starting and we all know users
who can't cope when something changes. Reg key hacks and stripping perms
with subinacl really isn't a good way to be managing these sort of
modifications to a new desktop environment, IMHO.

If it's a Computer GPO, is it even necessary to modify perms?
When I Googled real quick, I didn't see any info regarding having to change
perms.
Just curious, cuz I may have to do this in the future.

Subject: Hide windows libraries
Folks,
What are you doing to hide the Windows Libraries feature from your users? We
are moving to Win 7 and for now plan to keep it hidden.
I know I can disable this via a registry key, but it won't apply via GPO/script
since you have to manually change the key's permissions first. Or is there a
way to change perms via a GPO?
Key I am using is:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{031E4825-7B94-4dc3-B131-E946B44C8DD5}\ShellFolder]
"QueryForOverlay"=""
"HideOnDesktopPerUser"=""
"PinToNameSpaceTree"=""
"Attributes"=dword:b080010d
Suggestions appreciated.
Tom
