Customizing the Desktop

When several users work on the same computer and you allow changes to the taskbar and window positions, consider using the following Group Policy setting to restore the desktop to the configuration in effect at logon. Table 8.9 lists and describes the Don't save settings on exit Group Policy setting.

Other Group Policy settings you enforce can affect how this Group policy setting works. For additional information, right-click the Group Policy setting, and then click the Explain tab, or refer to the Group Policy Reference on the Windows 2000 Resource Kit companion CD.

The Group Policy setting listed in Table 8.9 is located in the Group Policy snap-in under Local Computer Policy\User Configuration\Administrative Templates\Desktop.
