How do I rescrict in admin mode the changing of desktop pic and to
freeze the taskbar.Too many people use and change. I want to set it so
no changes take effect.

top.I want a uniform desktop and taskbar for all users.

It was a 2 part question. I thought to seperate from main problem.

It depends on whether you have XP Pro, Home and whether this is a
standalone/workgroup computer or a member of a domain. I'm going to
assume your machine is not a member of a domain.

For XP Pro, use the Group Policy Editor to manage your users'
environments. For questions about the Group Policy Editor, post here:
microsoft.public.windows.group_policy

For XP Home, look at Doug Knox's Security Console or the MS Shared
Computer Toolkit:

win XP Pro this week. I will report back on results.
