<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
I am deploying Windows 7 and have so far managed to set the default desktop wallpaper, start menu items, screen saver, and internet explorer settings for new users logging in to the computer, using a combination of group policies, registry changes, and editing the default profile start menu.<br />
<br />
One change I cannot figure out though is the default shortcuts pinned to the taskbar. &nbsp;Current new users get shortcuts for internet explorer, windows exploter, and windows media player. &nbsp;How can I change this to show internet explorer and outlook 2003 only, when a new user logs in.
