Kind Regards
Hello All,
We have a "standard" (for want of a better word!!) Citrix setup with
most users appz and desktop icons being controlled by group policy. We
have disabled functionality to the desktop with regards to sizing and
active desktop. Recently, a user rang to inform the IT department that
she had a picture of a glove on her desktop as the background picture,
and she couldn't get rid of it. After looking at it for seemingly
ages... I couldn't get rid of it either. Until I perused some major
Citrix sites and realised that it was controlled by a registry setting..
That's not my problem now though, what I can't seem to do is work out
how to prevent this happening again (without creating Mandatory
profiles, I must allow the users some flexibility!!). Apparently,
browsing the web and rightclicking the image produces an option that
says "save as background", and that is how the user got around all our
useless, ahem, security, anyone else had to deal with this one before??
Cheers,
Jaime
