Here is a script that you can use to to refresh the account home 
directory either at login or logout.

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 o
ne 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?
