Guest michael Posted October 21, 2008 Posted October 21, 2008 Is there a way to stop the Desktop Cleanup Wizard bubble from ever popping up again for our end users? The desktop properties tab that contains that is disabled due to group policy and I'd hate to undo that if not necessary. Thanks.

User Configuration -> Administrative Templates -> Desktop -> Remove the Desktop Cleanup Wizard It can also be disabled by setting the value to 1 of this registry key. HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer!NoDesktopCleanupWizard Take a look at these web sites for more info. http://www.pctools.com/guides/registry/detail/995/ http://www.theeldergeek.com/disable_desktop_cleanup_wizard.htm http://searchenterprisedesktop.techtarget.com/tip/0,289483,sid192_gci1207504,00.html Good luck Nepatsfan
