I am starting with email late, but would throw in my two cents of a skinny rabbit. (although extremely annoying) I also think sometimes, in this case, because the kids know you are intent on making sure the desktops stay the same and "clean" . . . they try harder to find ways to mess with them. Once you don't let it bother you, it's not quite as much fun for them to change. And I agree there are bigger issues of teacher supervision in the lab and expectations . . . but I'll end it there.
Well I know that there may be but do you know anyway of performing this task. You're not helping me much Karl besides laughing and making the broken rib hurt even more.

I think your time would be better spent, having your teachers learn  
to watch the labs, I realize this is a stretch, but there are WAAAY  
bigger fish to fry than desktop pics.

1) Anything that is in the world when you're born is normal and  
ordinary and is just a natural part of the way the world works.
2) Anything that's invented between when you're 15 and 35 is new and  
exciting and revolutionary and you can probably get a career in it.
3) Anything invented after you're 35 is again the natural order of  
things

I think the better question is... Is it really worth the time and  
effort to keep kids from changing desktop pictures?

Without taking away right click you are better off using the  
BGinfo program. You set it so the desktop you want is the default  
on startup. The kids will be able to change it, but after a reboot  
it will be back to the default

We are looking for a way to stop students from changing background  
on laptops using group policy.  I found all the group policy  
features but when a student finds a picture they like they still  
can right click and set as desktop background.  is there a way to  
stop that even without having to disable right clicking feature.
