It's probably overkill, but I love love love Windows SteadyState: »www.microsoft.com/windows/produc···ult.mspx

If they change something, download a virus, whatever, simply reboot the machine and boom, back to the original configuration. And it's free.
I have bookmarked this for later. I didn't know this existed. Most of the desktops here at work are shared with roaming profiles. This would solve some 'problems'.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,23290577 Wed, 04 Nov 2009 13:19:38 EDT Re: Logoff Script to Fix Screen Orientation http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,23286387 Matt : It's probably overkill, but I love love love Windows SteadyState: »www.microsoft.com/windows/produc···ult.mspx

I also will be watching this thread like a hawk... I know many businesses that deal with the same scenario... of course, Ideally, the tech setting up the computer would be wise enough not to install that garbage to begin with.... but.. thats thinking of a perfect world.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,23285823 Tue, 03 Nov 2009 16:48:11 EDT Re: Logoff Script to Fix Screen Orientation http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,23284388 Serbtastic : Let us know if that works.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,23284388 Tue, 03 Nov 2009 12:31:16 EDT Re: Logoff Script to Fix Screen Orientation http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,23283692 kes601 :

That's exactly what I just tested. I used Process Monitor to trace where in the reg the new values were getting written, and on my machine its at:

HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\ialm\Device0

Remove write permissions to this reg key for the students' user group and you should be good.
Perfect, I will try that as soon as I get a chance. I tried the VBS logoff script and it does not work because the Intel utility is closed before the script runs.....]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,23283692 Tue, 03 Nov 2009 10:25:34 EDT Re: Logoff Script to Fix Screen Orientation http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,23283597 Serbtastic : That's exactly what I just tested.

Our students have decided it is fun to change the screen orientation using ctrl-alt-arrow key and the logging off the machine. Because this is part of the Intel driver software I can't seem to block it domain wide. So -- I'm thinking maybe there is a logoff script I could write that would do a hot key at logoff (ctrl-alt-up arrow). Anybody have any clues on how I might be able to write such a script?

Thanks in advance.
Couple of ways you can do this. The way I handled it at work was removing igfxtray.exe from the start-up/deleting or renaming the EXE at my work. We only have 80-ish computers so it was fairly easy with a script. If you still need the Intel Graphics Utility for some odd reason, you can use the SendKeys capability of VBScript (»msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library···%29.aspx) to possibly send Ctrl-Alt-Up at every logoff.
