RE: BGinfo - need to block

BGinfo is sent out to all the workstations on our domain. 2003 servers and

I'm locking down 6 workstations for the public. I've got them where I want
them but can't get rid of BGinfo. I don't want the public to see the
information it displays.

It was not in add/remove programs. I deleted everything I coulf find in
windows explorer about it. I went into the registry and deleted everything I
could find about it. I went into the domain controller and blocked all
policy inheritance to the OU the computers and user resides in.

How in the world do I get BGinfo off the 6 public access locked down
workstations?
