I did find an option in gconf-editor that would prevent previewing the images so they would just get a generic jpg icon or something, I might try that first before a complete ban of saving to the desktop. </PRE> </BLOCKQUOTE> Perhaps you should consider rethinking your policy on saving things to the desktop... you could create some sort of permanent directory structure linked to from the desktop (the "Student" folder, for example) and have them use that to store their files. If you want to really rethink the way they use their computers, you could set up user accounts for each of them, and they can have their own, private place to store files (private from other students, not from you) and they can mess with the background all they want without annoying other students or you. My old school used a roaming profiles system with their eMac computers, which worked really well, because every student had their own folder to store files that no one else could get into (except the admin, of course) and could change the settings, background, etc. to whatever they wanted. The best part was that because the profiles (home folders) were stored on a central server, they could log in from any computer in the school and their settings and files would follow them. I'm not sure exactly how to set that up in Ubuntu, but it's definitely possible. </BODY> </HTML>
