Re: Desktop Icons Problem

Hi,

When a scheduled task is run, winlogon.exe
(running as SYSTEM) is executing:

"CreateKey
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Clsid\"
and this overwrites the info stored there with the info found here:
"HKCU\Software\Classes\CLSID\"

The workaround is to modify the permissions for
"HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Clsid"
so as to deny SYSTEM Set Value permissions.

To modify the permissions, browse to the key using Start > Run >
regedit, right-click on the key, choose permissions and change them to
deny System permission to change this key, this should keep your
customized icons on the desktop.

Hope this helps
