Disconnecting & Forcing Logoff



1. Is there a way to disable a user's ability to disconnect (using the
X on the RDP connection) from a session and to force them to logoff
without following this procedure below:

http://terminal.servebeer.com/php/x_box_disable.php

For instance, can the "X" be disabled or if they click it, can their
session be "instantly" reconnected.

2. In our particular situation, our Terminal Server users (note, we
have 1 generic user account/machine that need identical settings) &
they do not need to use their local XP workstation for anything else.
Currently, if they have to reboot their workstations, they get the CTRL
+ALT+DEL to login to the domain. Once they login, a saved an .RDP file
in the User's Startup folder connects them to the Terminal Server. Not
sure of another way....

3. Once they connect to the TS, we would like a particular program to
open. Is this best configured in the Group Policy or in the TS Profile
of the User account? We have a Group Policy created to lockdown the TS
(in its own OU).

4. We only want (1) program shortcut icon on the desktop in case they
close the program and have to reopen it. Is it possible to prevent
deletion of this shortcut, OR if it is deleted, have only it on the
Start Menu (not using Classic) where it cannot be deleted? Then, if
they reconnect the desktop icons come back. We have read about Folder
Redirection, mandatory profiles, roaming profiles, default profiles,
etc but seem to need guidance on the best method to use.

Thanks so much
