customize

i am implementing a locked down local policy for a handful of xp workstations. i don't mind if the users change the wallpaper but i would like to block the use of the customize desktop feature as i have all these features predetermined. i have looked for a reg hack or policy option but with little sucess. any advice appreciated jk

hello, not sure if this has already been asked. if it has i apologise. when i right click on the toolbar in ie 6 it does not show the button for me to be able to customize the toolbar. it is no longer there and only has the "standard, address bar, links and lock the toolbar" options. can anyone help me to recover the "customize" option. thanks in advance. jay
