Hi
Our school network has a large number of machines running Intel integrated graphics from intel 845 through to latest chipset. With driver installed, a system tray icon appears which permits user to change various graphics properties....this is a pain in the backside. Is there a way to stop this tray icon from appearing on machines without going to extremes of registry hacking etc?? We are running a Server 2003R2 network. Thanks heaps for your time. Cheers
Had that this month mate with the 250 new machines we setup over the summer.
There's a simple fix for the intels: rename c:\windows\system32\igfxsvc.dll and nothing will show up, you just get the standard windows controls with no side-effects. Just get a script to run at machine startup.
Don't know for the nvidias but i'd assume there's a similar fix.

Cool....thanks will try that this week. On school holidays here in Australia so can break a few machines without anyone getting their knickers in a knot. ;)
I would take a look in the registry at:
>HKLM> Software> Micrsoft> Windows> Current Version> Run.
This is the key controls what runs for all users at log on I would then use a script to edit this key.
