We have Wyse thin clients connected to a Windows 2003 Terminal Server
that is also a DC. We have added our Thin-client users to a new OU,
created a GPO for that OU, and have begun to edit it. Currently, when
our users hit the Windows key on the keyboard, they get the Start Menu
of the TS. Using User Configuration>Administrative templates> we were
able to eliminate all icons on the Start Menu except the following:

My Computer
Printers & Faxes
Windows Security

We cannot seem to eliminate the above from appearing, so have begun
looking to disable the Windows Key altogether. Or if someone can
direct us on how to get rid of the above another way we would
appreciate it.

Thanks
 
Re: How to disable Windows key in GPO

Hi,

Try posting this query in "microsoft.public.windows.server.general" and
"microsoft.public.windows.group_policy" newsgroups also.
The group policy team might have more info on how to disable start menu
programs, as this is not specific to TS alone.
