Completely hide icon via GPO

Would anyone know how to hide a specific program icon (and possibly - desktop interaction) for a program, using a GPO?

It is for the purpose of Terminal server, and the program itself doesn't have an option to be hidden.


Thank you.

are you trying to block a specific applicaion from running?

if yes, do the following

start -> run -> gpedit.msc

under additional rules, right click and select new path rule.

Thanks, tho I don't want to ban application, but to disable showing the application icon.

More precisely, I need to do it on a TS - it is a remote support app (TeamViewer host), which doesn't have an option to disable icon.
