Worked like a charm, thanks a lot for your help jcs808

Hello everyone, I am trying to get some shortcuts to open in Google Chrome browser, rather than the default system browser which is IE. We need to keep IE as the default browser. The properties dialogue for adding shortcuts doesn't seem to have an 'open using app...' input anywhere so I'm stumped. Any advice would be gratefully received, thanks in advance

I think the perms are fine as they cannot edit anything in there. I will, however, add a reg entry to hide the icon anyway. Network discovery is off on the server and now off on the clients, with firewall exceptions for services that are required. I will update the Search Active Directory button GPO too! Thanks for your time and advice.

It is predominantly security related because I obviously want to prevent any unexpected 'meddling' by users. The share permissions, NTFS security etc on the sysvol, netlogon folders are defaults set when the server was installed so I'm assuming that those are correct. As for the shares I have created I followed best practice regarding sharing 'Everyone' Group and so on. When logged in users can access only the shares I expect (their Home Folder, Student Shared Folder) and no others so I think that is Okay. The Network Icon, however, still allows them to view and access computers~folders that the shouldn't. I will re-check permissions and security and try again. Thanks for your help Guys.

Hello everyone, I have been searching for a solution to this problem but have hit a brick wall and would appreciate your advice please. Clients logging in to their Windows 7 workstations are able to see the 'Network' Icon and view all other computers on the domain, including the DC. Clicking on a computer listed allows them to view and access the shares on those computers, even the DC (sysvol, netlogon, users etc). I have trawled through GPO's trying to find the relevent settings to remove the Network Icon and prevent users accessing other computers but with no luck. Please could you advise, Thanks
