DSAGEY Posted August 3, 2023 Posted August 3, 2023 Hello, I want to lockdown the settings - I want Settings, Downloads & File Exporer enabled but the others diabled. I don't want people to change this but I can't find a GPO for this. Has anyone else been able to prevent users from changing this? Thanks
clareq Posted August 3, 2023 Posted August 3, 2023 Find out where the folders are and use a GPO to set them as read only and hidden.
DSAGEY Posted August 7, 2023 Author Posted August 7, 2023 Find out where the folders are and use a GPO to set them as read only and hidden. Will that work? As this is for icons to appear on the start menu next to the power icon.
clareq Posted August 7, 2023 Posted August 7, 2023 I used that method to limit what appears when you right click the start button. It's certainly worth testing. Another route could be to find out what registry changes happen when the tick boxes are cleared, and push them by GPO. The settings are recorded somewhere, be it registry or ini file - it's just a case of finding where and using a GPO to replicate it.
