I was looking for a list of commands that can be used in the registry specifically under the key:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer

I want to lockdown which items can be viewed under the start menu as well as getting rid of all icons on the desktop. I would also like to disable the shutdown key on the start and on the ctrl-alt-del menu's.

We have remote sites that are all set up as a workgroup identical to each other. They are behind a router which uses NAT to uniquely identify them when they are connected to the home office.

Basically we would leave them logged in as this user all the time, if we needed to connect to them remotely we could log them out and then in as adminstrator to perform our functions. We would also like the user they use to log in automatically if they reboot or hit ctrl-alt-del to logout. They would need to hit the shift button to cancle the auto login.
