So if you go into the registry for that user under HKCU\Software \Microsoft
\Windows \CurrentVersion \Policies \Explorer\NoInternetIcon, do you see the
value set to 1?

I ran GPResults and I get the correct settings with the correct winning GPO
but when logging in as a user it is not the case.  I thought perhaps the
policy got corrupt so I copied another policy with the correct permissions.
Did a gpupdate /force on a machine.  Logged in as my user.  Got the same
settings.  Reran GPResults.  And got the correct settings with the "new"
winning gpo but still seeing stuff I shouldn't when logged in.

Scott-

I would make sure that the machine is still actually getting policy-because
it sounds like it is not. That could be because something changed in the
targeting of the policy, or for the user (I'm assuming most of these
policies are per-user?). You can run GPMC's GPResults Wizard to verify that
the computer and user are still receiving the policy in question and then go
from there.

So I have a site that some of the policy just stopped working.  For
instance, the IE icon should not be seen on the desktop.  But yet I am
seeing the icon.  This just started happening about a week ago (of course I
just got told today).    I am using desktop and start menu redirection.
When it was working the only thing users would see when they hit the start
button was programs and logoff.  Now they see everything like a normal user
would running xp. Ie - documents, help and support, run, etc.  

 

Hide Internet Explorer icon on desktop Software \Microsoft \Windows
\CurrentVersion \Policies \Explorer\NoInternetIcon 1

 

That is what is being applied according to the results from help and
support.

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
