Subject: [windows2000] Can I Disable the New - Shortcut menu option in
explorer
Does anyone know of a way to disable the New SHortcut option from explorer
desktop or folders. We have a locked down system, OS drives hidden etc. but
someone twigged that they could create a shortcut to an OS app - NET.EXE so
they can send naughty messages to other users ! It's now rapidly
approaching epidemic proportions as other students are now learing this
'new' trick and, well the result is fairly obvious, espeically when the data
server is the target and all connected users get the message !
Any help/pointers appreciated.
Mark
