[Casper] Delete items Desktop

[Ernst, Craig S.]

On a nightly bases this is why we actually delete all local user home directories for student lab machines so they get a fresh one with any changes or what not to the skeleton/default user profile. Basically it's a startup item that runs at a schedule time in the wee hours of the morning.

Since it is a destructive item must use extreme caution and have measures in place to ensure nothing else happens to other systems NOT suppose to run it.

Not sure how well deleting the profile during logout would be...never tried it.

Hi .. I'm not a script person. I'm looking for a way that on log out
all the items are deleted off the desktop.  Here is why.  Our students
connect to a server that is in their dock.  Sometimes they accidently
grab their folder and drag it to the desktop. This in reference causes
the permissions on those folders to be wacky and no one but an admin
can delete the folders. Within a week I have 20 gigs of student data
copied over to the desktop and I have to manually remove it.  The lab
monitor is unable to remove it because he does not have admin rights.

Last.. is there  a way to lock the desktop pattern?
