From Wladimir Bulchukey To All 14 November 2004

Hello(s), All...! On Friday I heard out of the blue from one very advanced ninth grader: "You can't change anything on these machines without an administrator... Damn, how much I know of ways to put wallpaper on your desktop - none of them work!” With the best - Wlodek # wlblack(@)newmail.ru # http://wlodeks.narod.ru [ZX] [500:95/462@ZXNet] [2:5016 Forever] [Golyanovo] [Old Russians]

Hello, Roman...! 16 Nov 04 00:40, Roman Alexandrov -> Wladimir Bulchukey: WB>> how much WB>> ways [kus] WB>> how to put wallpaper on your desktop RA> Speaking of tricks, how many ways are there? The easiest one, of course, is through Screen Properties. This is exactly the feature admins and turn it off first. But if the admin is too lazy to turn everything off policies and it just disables the Control Panel, the next simplest the way would be to use Active Desktop. This one also works on XP completely unexpected bug feature: Control panel removed in policies, runs fine from the command line: control.exe . In XP you need more set permissions on this file only for the system and administrators. In W2K this there is no hole. If the administrator has disabled Active Desktop, the next option will be "Make desktop picture" from Internet Explorer. To ban this possibility, you need to enable a direct policy that prohibits changes namely the desktop picture. But even after this, a similar option in ACDSee continues to work. I'm quite I rummaged through politicians for a long time and finally banned this too, but I won’t say offhand, where and what exactly I was spinning. And this is not a fact that from some other program it will not be possible to plop some kind of program onto the desktopobscenity. Then you have to remember a lot, how else. (Naturally, users should not have access to policy and registry editors).
