Failing that, in your login script, reset the backdrop image with the path
to an approved backdrop. OK, so the user will have to log out and back in
again, but it'll foil those who expect to see the image the next time they
log in...

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
