Hi,<br />
Windows series version does not have such option to limit the option to change/adjust desktop.
</div>


<div>
that article suggests a idea to redirect the desktop to a folder the user only has read permission.
</div>


<div>
I don't think it contains such option.
</div>


<div>
See the article I put the link in my question. The expert explains how to do it.

<div>
There is not enough details to re-direct the &quot;desktop&quot; to one folder, from that thread.
</div>


<div>
I'm looking in to it now. But if you wish &nbsp;you can communicate with the expert at the link I provided.
</div>


<div>
Simply make the desktop read-only via NTFS. You can even do this through GPOs.
</div>


<div>
A redirection cannot made to a location with lass than write permission
</div>


<div>
Well, why redirect at all? Simply write protect it.
</div>


<div>
Please direct me to such policy<br />

Small Business Server (SBS) is a line of server operating systems targeted at small businesses by bundling the operating system with a number of other Microsoft products that would normally need to be purchased or licensed separately. The most notable inclusions are Exchange, SQL Server, SharePoint and ISA/TMG (Microsoft's firewall and proxy server).

The Windows operating systems have distinct methodologies for designing and implementing networks, and have specific systems to accomplish various networking processes, such as Exchange for email, Sharepoint for shared files and programs, and IIS for delivery of web pages. Microsoft also produces server technologies for networked database use, security and virtualization.
