Re: User Security for desktop

I am a teacher, not an Admin, but most of my Admin guys are Novell
guys and CLAIM they don't know how to change this.

Setup: Some sort of Novell back end/Windows XP Client w/ SP-1.
Scenario: User can not change any display options when she right
clicks on the desktop. Trying to use "Set image as Wallpaper" does
not respond.

I know enough to be dangerous. I know this is probably locked
somewhere at the Admin level, either a group that the user is
assigned to or something like that. But where is it, how do I find
that particular property? It doesn't happen to all users, so it makes
me fairly certain they are being inconsistent with new user setups.

Can someone please shed some light on this so I can teach my guys?
SO grateful in Miami.

The "some kind of Novell back end" is important. If your guys are running
Zenworks or some equivilent product
(http://www.novell.com/products/zenworks/) then it should manage these kinds
of settings for them. If they're not running this kind of thing on a campus
large enough to have "admin guyS" rather than "An admin guy" then they
probably should be.
