    Active desktop background in group policy

    I need some help here to configure group policy on Windows 2003 Server. I am here trying to enforce certain policies that are newly created in the background. Now here everything is working fine. But when he policy is applied there is a web page in the background. I had performed a small test also but still this thing appaer. It is a bit weird. I went into the User config section where I found a Desktop and then clicked on Active Desktop. In taht I found enable active desktop. The wallpaper configured was default.

    Re: Active desktop background in group policy

    Dear Friends,

    I am having some problem with my group policy. I am trying to implement a policy to a group but whatever the changes I make to the policy, they don't take effect. I am using the following way. Can you please tell me where I am wrong.

    1. I have created a new group and added a few users to it.
    2. I right clicked the group and selected properties.
    3. I clicked on the group policy tab.
    4. Selected New
    5. Clicked edit.
    6. Then Administrative Templates under user configuration
    7. Applied a few changes, like disabling Add/remove programs from the Control Panel etc.
    8. Closed the opened tree and clicked ok.
    9. Went to run and typed "gpupdate"
    10. then logged in to another computer with the username that was in the same group, but whatever I blocked in the policy are appearing there again.

    Can you please help me with that....


    Regards,
    Waqas.
