Group Policy to Switch off Computer Maintenance
Hi All,
We recently had an issue where a couple of our Windows 7 PC's removed shortcuts from the desktop. The KB below says I need to Computer Maintenance to Off.

Any idea where is setting is located in Group Policy?
We are on 2003 functional level, but could go upto 2012 R2 if needed.
Many thanks

Adding the required templates should work
The domain functional level doesn't matter for that.
Just create and link a GPO to your computer OU preferably do this on your 2012 R2 DC. It should hold the most current GPO templates.
