I really need to get rid of that one from the taskbar for all users, but still let me use a powershell script (that I have in the all users startup) to pin icons that I want to be there. Any ideas on this?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3920347219421157797.post-57761712779270993132016-07-25T08:19:53.127-07:002016-07-25T08:19:53.127-07:00Hello,

I like more the idea of using a PGO for that purpose than deleting the shortcuts from the original place. My experience with Group Policy is limited and I tried to follow your words here but I was unable to get this to work. I wonder whether you could give me a detailed guide of how you accomplished that. Thank you very much.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13178250845421823165noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3920347219421157797.post-83571362837641256672015-09-08T07:01:51.356-07:002015-09-08T07:01:51.356-07:00One thing I have started doing since one of our cl...One thing I have started doing since one of our clients migrated to RDS with load balancing was to go onto each server as the admin and configure the profile as a user should then use a fantastic tool by Forensit called DefProf. It copies all settings and environment defaults from the designated location to the default user. While their tool was designed for Win7, it works flawlessly on Server 2012 R2 and other newer OSes. http://forensit.blogspot.com/2010/09/changing-default-profile-on-windows-7.html and the tool can be found: http://www.forensit.com/support-downloads.html irngrzzlyadmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07095862370345374886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3920347219421157797.post-79268819495312869092015-08-25T11:29:25.608-07:002015-08-25T11:29:25.608-07:00Thanks for the excellent post!

There are lots of posts out there on how to do it using GPO but they were not working 100% and in this post the paths did not exactly match for me for some reason.<br /><br />The trick for me was identifying exactly where the files being copied is coming from. Once I knew that, I could control it using computer configuration ->policies->windows settings->security settings->file system. I added a new item. Entered the path starting with %AllUsersProfile%\microsoft\... to the lnk file. The path here should match the path \\program data\microsoft\....<br /><br />This setting sets the security permissions of the lnk to whatever you select in the GPO settings. Once this is done you can confirm that the actual lnk security properties update according to what is set in GPO. When the user logs in, the links are no longer there!<br /><br />If this is an existing user, you may have to manually remove the links from the location specified in this post. For new users, I've tested several times, the links do not show up as they don't have permission to copy per my GPO settings.<br /><br />Hope this helps others!Sharlynehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15596471562743202078noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3920347219421157797.post-84928763928063415192015-05-28T14:05:55.626-07:002015-05-28T14:05:55.626-07:00I have tried many other suggestions/options even t...I have tried many other suggestions/options even through GPO's.
