Jeff P,
 
You mentioned creating one desktop folder with ALL of the icons and
using NTFS permissions to control who sees what.  Do you have any
documentation on how to do this.  I didn't know there was a permission
for controlling if an icon is visible or not.  That would be great in
our environment and make my life a lot easier.


Thanks,
Michael Boggan

        Or hunt around for the StartBuild service (it used to be on
thethin.net - perhaps it still is) which does the same thing with less
effort.

                        We believe that this is the simplest answer and
allows users to control their own look and feel without risking
anything.  We use a folder under their Home drive location to store the
desktop. 
                         
                        We also mark any application shortcuts Read Only
to help reduce the issue of deleted shortcuts to critical applications.
Works great.

                        If your allowing users to write to the desktop,
then simply redirect the desktop.  The redirection does not have to be
centralized, you can have a redirected desktop for each user.

make any other similar changes. 
                                 
                                What is the best way to give the users
their own desktop so they can save files to it, and to control what is
on the desktop based on group?  With normal folder redirection I don't
think this is doable right???

                                An alternative is to have a centralized
desktop with all the icons.  Then use Access based enumeration and NTFS
permissions.  This will only show the appropriate icons to the
appropriate users.  Very simple and very effective.
