How can I set the desktop of users in a OU to have the same desktop
background on their 2k and xp machines? Before you answer, read on: I can
do it for my technical assistants, users that have full rights to the
machine, by using "active desktop" in the group policy and force a certain
desktop background, even a picture on the server. But for users that have
no rights to the desktop, folks who have "hide all desktop items" enabled,
they don't get any background no matter what I do. I can't force a desktop
background at all unless I enable the items, including desktop icons, on the
desktop, which I don't want to do. (I want my cake and eat it too,
especially since I used to be able to accomplish this with the old system
policies on winNT and 2k before we went to AD.) Is there another admin
template or a way to customize the existing admin template?
Same question for forcing a certain color scheme to the "windows classic
style"? I can only set it to the xp LUNA style and don't know how it to set
others.
