Hi,

I am beginning to use KIXtart scripting and I enjoy it. So can I connect network drives, depending on groups (probably like Hello world...).

I want my users not being able to start the file explorer by right clicking the Start button (ideally "explorer" should disappear from the menu).

How could I do this with KIXtart?

Thanks,
Hubert.

well...
it's a policy for sure.
couldn't quickly find the value to set, but most likely it's under:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer

normal user doesn't have right to just write there, so you might be best of by playing with GPO's

Thanks, yes I know this place but not the value. If I knew it, I would try with writevalue().
Or, as you suggest, deal with policies (I prefer to stay by KIXtart as long I can...)

well, like said, it's under HKLM and even under policy-key so, most likely your logonscript can't enable that feature.
so, you would need to resort back to admin scripting and that is so complex, for this small thingie, you don't want to, trust me ;\)
