Re: Restricting Power Users from changing screensaver and wallpaper

If my memory serves me right, local security policy overrides the domain
GPO.

It's Local, Site, Domain, OU - look in a good Active Directory book.

We are starting use GPO and would like to learn more about it and prevent
a
group of users from being able to change the wallpaper and or screensaver.
We have a group policy that is pushing out the wallpaper and screen saver.
Well, power users are able to change them - we want to restrict them from
doing this.

The users are in a power user group so that they can load and unload
software (Autocad, etc.).

My question is what are my options in restricting the power users from
having the right to change the screen saver and or desktop wallpaper?

Thanks in advance and please direct with instructions or how to
documentation for we are trying to learn this (under the gun) and thusly
we
want to do it right.

Have a great day for those that help.
