Disable the homepage from auto appearing as desktop when active desktop is enabled?

[Guest Andrew Story]

Sorry this is multiposted in public.win2000.general - not a busy forum so

I've posted here also (apologies in advance)

 

Hello

 

I have numerous desktops running windows XP who's users have a policy

puching out corporate wallpaper, which requires active desktop to be

enabled.

 

The same users logon to a Win2k terminal server, and active desktop (with it

being enabled for the user account) gives every user the homepage when they

logon. Is it possible to have this feature disabled? I think it must be in

the default user profile somehow but unsure, can someone help?

 

Thanks

Don't do this in profiles. Instead, set up a GPO for your TS users - using

loopack processing - and you can control this and more. Try posting in

m.p.windows.group_policy for more help with that (and possibly crosspost to

m.p.windows.terminal_services).
