How to disable Windows key in GPO

[Guest compsosinc@gmail.com]

We have Wyse thin clients connected to a Windows 2003 Terminal Server

that is also a DC. We have added our Thin-client users to a new OU,

created a GPO for that OU, and have begun to edit it. Currently, when

our users hit the Windows key on the keyboard, they get the Start Menu

of the TS. Using User Configuration>Administrative templates> we were

able to eliminate all icons on the Start Menu except the following:

 

My Computer

Printers & Faxes

Windows Security

 

We cannot seem to eliminate the above from appearing, so have begun

looking to disable the Windows Key altogether. Or if someone can

direct us on how to get rid of the above another way we would

appreciate it.

 

Thanks

Re: How to disable Windows key in GPO

 

Hi,

 

Try posting this query in "microsoft.public.windows.server.general" and

"microsoft.public.windows.group_policy" newsgroups also.

The group policy team might have more info on how to disable start menu

programs, as this is not specific to TS alone.

Thanks,

Priya.
