GPP delete shortcuts startmenu etc

I would like to delete some shortcuts in the all users startmenu and some shortcuts on the desktop for the user and also shortcuts in the taskbar for several users.
Tried to make a computer group policy preference for the startmenu but the shortcuts in the start menu are not deleted. %SystemDrive%\programdata\microsoft\windows\start menu\programs\microsoft office\microsoft office Access 2003 and several others like
microsoft office  infopath 2003 etc.
Also in the startmenu is a folder beneath the microsoft office like microsoft office-helpprograms, this musts be deleted thru folder delete, must it be empty then?
Why are the shortcuts not deleted, must it be done in a user gpp? The shortcuts are in the programdata so in the all users startmenu...
And the desktop shortcuts must can this be done in the same gpp, must the .lnk be added?
And the thrird is the hardest proberly: a shortcut in the quick taskbar thru gpp delete..

Is your GPO applied at all?

No, doesn't need to be empty.

It doesn't matter as long as "run in logged on users context" isn't
checked. BTW: Press "F3" in the path field to select predefined system
variables.

> the .lnk be added?
Can be the same. If you use the "Files" extension, .lnk must be added.
If you use the "Shortcuts" extension, then not.

> thru gpp delete..
Cannot be done through GPO/GPP, this requires a script. Lots of links in
this forum, AFAIR.

  • GPP Delete policy not working on Windows Server 2008 R2 RDS when deleting shared printers with status access denied.

    Hi!
    I Have one AD Security group for each shared printer, I have one GPP that map the printer if the user is in the security group that belong to the printer. And one GPP to delete the printer if the user is NOT member of the security group. The security group
    is also applied in “Security” tab on the printsrv with PRINT rights  and “everyone” is removed. This works 100 % on Windows 7 clients and Windows 2003 Terminal Servers. But on Windows 2008 R2 RDS this dont work.The Delete Policy will not delete the shared
    printer. No warning in any logs, and the gpresult shows that the gpo setting applyed sucessfully. The only way I can make the Delete policy work is if i give the user print rights on the printer on the printsrv. Looks like for the policy to work on 2008
    R2 the user must have print rights on the printer object on the printserver. The GPP Delete Policy will not delete printers that have status : access denied. Anyone else had this problem?

    Hi,
    Based on your description, it seems that we need to give users appropriate permissions, for the error
    Access is denied is more or less related to permissions.
    However, we can avoid deploying the GPP printer delete policy. As far as I know, we can use Item-Lvel Targeting of GPP to push the shared printers
    to the targeted users or groups.
    Regarding ILT, the following articles can be referred to for more information.

  • Despite my best efforts, I am unable to remove iTunes 11.1.4 from my PC, this being made necessary because the original installation had a flaw and did not load properly. Effor to use the control panel, deleting dll. files, etc. all failed. iTune out??

    Despite my best efforts, I am unable to remove iTunes 11.1.4 from my PC, this being made necessary because the original installation had a flaw and did not load properly. Effor to use the control panel, deleting dll. files, etc. all failed. And, of course, on startup, a window opens with the error and tells me find QTMovie.dll and delete it because this may be the source of the hangup. Also, in trying to delete iTunes, I get the additional message that I must get approval from the System Administrator to take this action. I am the System Administrator.
    Any ideas would be welcomed.
    Thank you.

    Yahoo mail tool bar (delete,more,spam,etc) not working in firefox.Works in Explorer.Web search points to Mozilla update problem."Plug-ins" up to date. Solutions?
    I've used firefox for years now with out problems. Now that help is needed, Could you make this any more frustrating? I thought I was asking Mozilla help and I'm sent to "users". I went there 1st! there are similar questions but no answers. I've lost time and data. Is there any REAL PEOPLE to help with firefox problems?

    I'm a real person, thanks.
    If you mean, does Mozilla have paid staff you could phone or email, the answer is "No."
    Is the problem with a feature of the Yahoo! mail web page itself, or the Yahoo! toolbar?
    General advice:
    When you have a problem with one particular site, a good "first thing to try" is clearing your Firefox cache and deleting your saved cookies for the site.
    (1) Bypass Firefox's Cache
    Use Ctrl+Shift+r to reload the page fresh from the server.
    Alternately, you also can clear Firefox's cache completely using:
    "3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Options > Advanced
    On the Network mini-tab > Cached Web Content : "Clear Now"
    If you have a large hard drive, this might take a few minutes.
    (2) Remove the site's cookies (save any pending work first). While viewing a page on the site, try either:
    * right-click and choose View Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
    * (menu bar) Tools > Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
    * click the padlock or globe icon in the address bar > More Information > "View Cookies"
    In the dialog that opens, you can remove the site's cookies individually.
    Then try reloading the page. Does that help?
    Could you test in Firefox's Safe Mode? That's a standard diagnostic tool to deactivate extensions and some advanced features of Firefox. More info: [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode]].
    ''If Firefox is not running:'' Hold down the Shift key when starting Firefox.
    ''If Firefox is running:'' You can restart Firefox in Safe Mode using either:
    * "3-bar" menu button > "?" button > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
    * Help menu > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
    and OK the restart.
    ''Both scenarios:'' A small dialog should appear. Click "Start in Safe Mode" (''not'' Refresh).
    Any difference in how Yahoo! works?

    Try to reset your ipad and/or force quit the mail app
    Reset
    Hold down the sleep and home keys for about 20 seconds. When you see the silver apple, let go and let it reboot. No data will be lost.
    Force close an app
    Double tap the home button. When you see the app previews on the screen scroll sideways if needed to get the preview in question on the screen. Flick that preview up and off the screen to close the app. Single tap the home button or home screen preview to exit the mode.

  • Command+Delete Shortcut!

    Hello,
    I have noticed that the command+delete shortcut does not work on Mac OS Server, is this a normal behavior or is it just my system. Is there a way to set it up?
    Appreciate any help on this matter.
    Nawaf

    Camelot:
    Thank you for your response!
    I do not have thirdparty software, I am aware of, that is over-riding short-cut commands in the system. Regarding the system preferences, are you refering to "Keyboard Shortcuts?"
    As far as I know, the "Keyboard Shortcut" pereferences does not have an option for Move to Trash to tamper with? However, under the File menu, in Finder, I see that the move to Trash action has the correct shortcut, command+delete. Unless I am missing something here, I am not sure where else to look for such preferences. This is really annoying!
    I hope there is away to reset it!!!!

    You might try to see if you can restore your iWork documents from an earlier point in time by using Time Machine.  To do this, Open Finder and navigate to “~/Library/Mobile Documents/com~apple~Pages/Documents” (without the quotes) from the Go>Go to Folder menu.  Then launch Time Machine, go back in time until you see your pages documents, then select them, click Restore and exit Time Machine.  Then repeat this from "~/Library/Mobile Documents/com~apple~Numbers/Documents" to restore your Number documents.

  • Deleted shortcuts reappearing

    Are there any fixes for deleted shortcuts that keep reappearing yet?

    I'm having this same problem.  Delete them...doesn't matter....minutes later they're back. Two devices doing this.

  • Deleted shortcuts keep returning

    When Yosemite 10.10.0 was released I used the option to create text shortcuts. I did not like using them and I deleted all of them. Now, every time there is a software update these supposedly deleted shortcuts reappear. They also reappear on my IOS devices. I have to conclude this has something to do with iCloud, but I can't  find anything in the iCloud settings that allows me to delete the shortcuts there. I currently am using Yosemite 10.10.3.
    I googled the problem, and found several other users with the exact same issue, so I am surprised I am the first here to ask if anyone has an idea how to fix the problem once and for all. Thanks in advance for any help!

    Really? No one else is seeing this?
    It just happened again. An email from my mom resurrected my "Family" folder on my iPhone, when the rules set up in Mountain Lion clearly show it should've been filed under "People."
    I even deleted all my old rules and recreated them based on my new folder structure. It seems somewhere, my old rules are still in play.
    Ideas?

  • Everytime I start a new text message there is already a video attachment in the message.  I tried removing it , resetting the phone, deleting that video, etc..no help.  If I start a new text, the video is embedded by default, help.

    Everytime I start a new text message there is already a video attachment in the message.  I tried removing it , resetting the phone, deleting that video, etc..no help.  If I start a new text, the video is embedded by default, help.  Its almost as if its a part of my signature but its not.  I took the video from an email message, and sent it via sms/mms to a friend, since then it just appear in every new message I create, regardless of who it is going to.  I thought maybe imessage got messed up so I turned it off and back on, still there.

    I ended up resetting my phone by erasing all contents and settings.  Not ideal, but I was getting pretty frustrated with it.  Anyway, it worked.  I hope Apple figures this out cause I don't want to have to reset again if this happens again.  good luck.

  • E-mail delete shortcuts?

    I'm finding the number of touches slowing me down when I'm deleting e-mails on my new z10.  I've been using an iPhone 4 for a while and decided to switch because I'm tired of the unbelievably poor experience I have with iOS devices in a corporate environment - don't get me started on how bad calendar management works on an iOS device!
    Anyway, I've ready about how to do multi-selections and then deleting a group of e-mail, but the way I typically process e-mail is to look at the e-mail and then delete it if I don't need to keep it, so multi-select doesn't work so well.  The way I'm used to doing this is looking at an e-mail, deleting it and then the e-mail client typically goes to the previous or next e-mail so i can delete the next one.  
    On the z10, I have to touch the e-mail, then touch the over-flow icon, then touch the delete icon and then it takes me back to the e-mail list where I have to touch the next e-mail, touch the over-flow icon, touch the delete icon, etc..it takes me 3x the number of touches to delete e-mails individually.  
    Are there any shortcuts to delete an e-mail without using the overflow menu first?  If not, there should be!  Or at least an option to go to the next email after deleting - then I'd only have 2x the number of touches instead of 3x...!  
    Thanks.

    Best way to delete emails, is to Select and hold an email then select more and select all your emails you want to delete in one shot. Also if you want to delete or mark all emails as read, Click and hold the date above the email, a slider appears on the top right to delete all or mark all read.

  • New MacBook Pro 10.7.2 trying to connect to HP laserjet 1200 w wireless. Tried generic driver and hpdriver and gutenprint drivers. "Unable to connect due to error". Deleted prefs, restarted etc. Any ideas ?

    Just purchased a MacBook Pro OS 10.7.2. Cannot get it to print with HP LaserJet 1200.
    Connection is wireless, able to ping printer. (also tried  MacBook using ethernet).
    This HP 1200 prints perfectly with another mac running Snow Leopard.
    Tried HP 1200 driver, which, according to HP,  is not working with 10.7.2; They suggested Gutenprint
    tried generic printer from Mac, (message was printer is busy);
    tried CUPS Gutenprint 5.0.2,(message says "unable to connect due to an error"
    removed preferences and re-added printer, rebooted etc.  
    Any thoughts? I thought it was the driver, maybe there are other drivers out there or maybe it's something else???? Thanks

    Thanks for the replys.
    After spending an hour plus, uninstalling and reinstalling drivers and still not able to print, my husband, sits down, plugs in an ethernet cable, reinstalls the printer with the ip, and it prints. !!! I'd already done that , but that was before I deleted the preferences and installed the Gutenprint driver. I think it was the new Gutenprint driver that did it.
