I want to create a global policy, or edit the registry somehow to hide the task bar through out my entire organization. I'm running NT 4.0 workstations. Just wondering if anyone has accomplished this.
Thanks

On server go to start, programs, administrative tools,system policy editor.

To create a new policy for a domain

1 On the File menu, click New Policy.

2 To specify the computers to which your Registry-setting changes will apply, you can do the following:

Double-click Default User to change HKEY_CURRENT_USER Registry settings for all computers on the domain.
Double-click Default Computer to change HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE Registry settings for all computers on the domain.

3 To add to the Registry settings, click Commands on the Edit menu to do the following:

To change HKEY_CURRENT_USER for specific users, click Add User.
To change HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE for specific computers, click Add Computer.
To change HKEY_CURRENT_USER for specific groups click Add Group.

4 If necessary, finish configuring policy settings for any other policy files you have added, and then click Save As on the File menu.
5 In Save in, specify the Netlogon folder on the primary domain controller (PDC), such as:

\\PDCServerName\netlogon.

6 In File name, type NTconfig.pol, and click Save.

The policy is enforced on each computer running Windows?NT Workstation or Windows?NT Server when users log on

I was wondering if you know which key in the registry needs to be changed? Or if you can create a key that will enable the task bar to be hidden.
