[mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, November 06, 2003 11:07 AM To: ActiveDir (E-mail) Subject: [ActiveDir] Background How is it possible that a regular user can change her background if you disable the Background tab through a GPO to all users?  I checked and she doesn't have that tab, the GPO is working correctly.
