In a public library evironment, I am using system policies to restrict desktop icons from displaying for public users of our networked internet PCs (WinNT 4.0). However, I just installed a new program (EpixTech Pac for Windows), which when it closes, puts all the deafult icons (e.g. My Computer, Recycle, etc.) back on the desktop. How does it override my system policy? Can I prevent this?

This sounds like and Epix issue. Check the registry. If I remember correctly, Epix gives you the option to return to default or not, upon closing. Even if you have Policies set to custom, Epix searches the local registry upon closing for any settings (Profiles > Local Admin or AllUsers)It might just be a DWORD you need to disable.

Hope this helps.
