JSI Tip 1372. How can I prevent the My Briefcase icon from being created on a new users desktop?

The following registry hack does not remove the My Briefcase icon from a user who has previously logged on:

Use Regedt32 to modify the default user hive on the server and NT Workstation at:

SoftwareMicrosoftWindows NTCurrentVersionWinlogon

On the Edit menu, Add Value name RunSyncApp as a type REG_DWORD and set the data value to 0.

On the NT Workstation, navigate to:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESoftwareMicrosoftWindows NTCurrentVersionWinlogon

On the Edit menu, Add Value name RunSyncApp as a type REG_DWORD and set the data value to 0.

Rename %SystemRoot%System32syncapp.exe to syncapp.old.

Shutdown and restart the NT Workstation.
