I don't think any of us but Mitch know the full circumstances behind why it's something they want to fix and honestly it doesn't really matter why. Let's try to keep the responses constructive and helpful, regardless of our personal feelings on if an issue is important or not.

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.
