XP: Disabling automatic cleanup

    Hi Guys,

    I'm looking at rolling out windows xp to users in my company at the moment. They aren't exactly tech savvy so I'm trying to make it as simple and as similar to what they are using (nt4) at the moment as possible.

    One thing I'm having a problem with is this little popup I get in XP from time to time saying there are unused icons on the desktop. Don't want this popping up for users as I have a feeling they will end up deleting icons for apps they will need some day.

    Any ideas if I can remove this in an option somewhere? Or through using group policies?

    Cheers

    Display properties ---> Desktop ---> Customise Desktop ---> Desktop Cleanup.

    Uncheck the box and desktop cleanup wizard with never bother you again... make this part of your Sysprep/RIprep image...

    problem is that it seems to be a profile specific setting. Once a user logs in we need to make the change again.

    Ideally I'm wondering if this can be done with group policies.
