A few days ago I posted on www.annoyances.org to find a way to setup desktop shortcuts on all the
computers system-wide, and i was told to setup a mandatory profile. Well I have done
that, in fact I made a different profile for each set of users (with slightly different
permissions).
Now... the main problem i am having with this is the internet access. Alot of people
have come back to me saying they cannot access the internet, and they are correct.
when i set up the mandatory profiles i made sure things like that were set correctly,
not that it should matter as it should work on "automatically detect settings".
However when i go into internet options => connections => LAN settings, it shows
all boxes unchecked / unfilled, and any changes i make arent saved.
I will try changing the mandatory profiles to make absolutely sure i set the internet
access up right on them, but i dont think it will make a difference.
Any ideas?
p.s. i would also like to know if it is possible to (for example) delete the my docs
folder on the mandatory profile and have the client PCs use the local (pre-mandatory
profile) my docs folder. the same with favourites etc, can I mix and matxh what I
want to be mandatory?
Thanks in advance
