Group Policy - restrict deleting recycle bin /enable locking desktop
Hi,
I work at a school where the students continuously delete desktop shortcuts to applications residing on the server. I have tried through group policy to lock the desktop down but STILL the girls are able to delete the items and they don't reappear when the girls log back on. I am even thinking of going along the route of blocking emptying the recycle bin, so the teachers can just restore the deleted shortcuts if need be.
What am I doing wrong? How do I set up a standard desktop for each pupil. They only have one shared login so this would be the easiest option. I feel like I have exhausted all the options for locking the desktop and everything that should be enabled or disabled already is. Help!
Many Thanks,
Emma.
