We are using NT 4.0 and our users use a policy. My question is: Is there a way to give the use back the printer Icon and the control panel icon. We know that you just go into your policy and click to bring it back, but this doesn't seem to work.

If u use the NtConfig.pol file, I suggest; you ensure that the users/Groups are include in the policy, & then let then re-login.

We are already doing that and it still won't work. It looks like the NTConfig.pol file wion't give back these after checking it to give back. User do login after making changes.

Sounds like you are making the policy changes in the wrong place.
maybe the policy referred to in the registry is stored on the server, or inversely, on the individual workstation.
If the policy is changed in the correct location and the users login it will change.

Ain't Windoze fun??

We are making changes to the policy on the server in the right directory. The user then login and the changes don't work. Anything else?

You brought up the registery, what changes do you make there? Server? Workstation?

found out in the pocliy under the user there is a Shell option and under that there is a option to give back control panel and printer icon, if unchecked you will see the icons.
