Is it possible to add shortcuts and/or windows components to the desktop if "hide and disable all items on the desktop" is enabled via GPO? For example, if I have a few specific program icons I want to show up and nothing else, what is the best way to accomplish this?
I tried the steps at technet posing: "Desktop Icons with Group Policy"
and
Henny Louwers blog: "Show / Hide Desktop Items Windows 2008 R2 / Windows 7 by means of registry and Microsoft Group Policy Preferences"
but neither worked. Either the shortcut never showed up or the registry key didnt exist (on either Win7 or S2K8 machine).
Thanks
