Hi, I'm trying to prevent ordinary users to save files on the Desktop, but I have some problem with Vista. The users have roaming profiles. I have made one startup script that creates a local folder C:\Desktop , and set user rights to read and execute. I have a logonscript that sets the User Shell Folder "Desktop" to C:\Desktop.

I do not have good access to those who control Group Policy. At about the same time, I deleted a couple of of stale domain users accounts by deleting their folders in c:\users.
