Users saving to desktop, how can I stop this.

http://www.petri.co.il/forums/showthread.php?p=549#post549

use Profile Storage Space monitor, set to 30MB in group policy, and explain users how program works.
When profile is filled with data, program activate pop-up window with warning

Have you also redirected thier "Desktop" ?

Yes I did redirect their desktop

no size limit.  I'd like them to save to my documents not on their desktops

and save to mapped network drives.

I would then set Quotas on the "Desktop" then they will eventually get used to saving where they are supposed to

Thank you very much.

Is it possible to have them just not save to their desktop period and only save to  my documents

Are you using Group Policy Preferences?

If so you can redirect "Downloads"

You might run into too much headache if you disable saving to desktop. What about when users want to save a shortcut to desktop?

Don't want shortcut either.  we basically want a clean desktop

Then make a mandatory profile as mentioned by the first comment in this thread.



But take note of this:

Take a look at Flex Profile Kit(it is free)

ok, I will
thanks again

also if you are using folder redirection, you should be able to set the desktop folder to read-only. Of course my first suggestion is preferrable...
