Group Policy Settings - Windows 11

[donkeymusic]

Afternoon,

 

I am attempting to tidy up our desktops for our new Windows 11 build and just having a few issues with policies that I wondered if anyone could assist with?

 

The first issue is that we have some installed apps from our SCCM build and these icons appear on the desktop, I would like to hide these, and I'm sure we used to be able to do so but can't find a policy that would allow this.

 

Any help is much appreciated, thank you

Are they in the public user profile desktop folder? Can you just script an on-logon or on-startup deletion of eveything in that folder?

Thanks for the reply.

 

I managed to use a delete shortcut policy to remove those that we don't need, so that issue has been resolved.
