In Windows 2000 when a user first logs onto a PC they get the "Connect to the Internet" Icon. Is there a way of disabling this coming up ?

Its not in the startup files ... not sure what you mean by user/group profile ? I've looked in explorer at "default user" and "all users" and it isnt there ?

I like the first answer. (One can always right click and delete it but thats not necessarily the correct way to do it. That just gets rid of the short cut).

you can disable it completely in Group Policy. Go to either to the local policy, Start->Run->gpedit.msc, or the domain policy through Active directory users and computers. Under User Configuration, Administrative templates, Windows Components, Internet Explorer, Disable Internet connection wizard. It will never come up again.
