Hi,

I am setting up a Windows 2003 Terminal Server. I have basically
created a locked down desktop for my clients. What I wanted to know
was -

1. In Windows Explorer. I am unable to hide (or remove) the Edit,
View, Tools and Help menu. I am looking for a registry tweak or a
group policy that can do this. (If any of these menus can be removed i
would be very interested!!).

2. Desktop Icon positions on desktop are not remembered. I want to be
able to place 3 icons in the middle of the clients desktop. However
when I move their icons into the middle of the desktop, this location
is only remembered when I log into their account from my own computer
computer. If I log into their account from another location the icons
go back to their default position. Seems like the terminal service
client is writing something to the local computer registries??

Any Ideas on any of the above would greatly be appreciated.

Thanks
Powerguy
