Add "My Documents" & "My Computer" to Desktop via Group Policy

**Anilrgowda** · 10-Jul-2007, 04:54 PM

I am new to Group Policies and my management wants me to configure a policy that places the "My Documents" and "My Computer" icons on all of the desktops. In the GPO editor I've noticed options to "Remove" these items but not "Add". Please help.

Network Information:
1 - Windows Small Business Server 2003 - Svc. Pk. 1
>20 - Windows XP Pro Svc. Pk. 2

Or you could take the shortcuts for My documents, and my comptuer, and put them in C:\Documents and Settings\All users and put them in the Desktop folder. They way when they log in it will show on all desktop screens, and you dont have to have a GPO for that.
