[THIN] Re: Show Clock on XenApp 4.5/Server 2003

In most cases yes, but in this case, the stuckrects2 key (or rather the settings value below it) contains various settings within a single binary value - i.e. the task-bar placement, clock etc...

Using the change user method would capture the whole value, not just the bit which controls the clock I believe...

I guess the key to doing this properly would be to have a script read the value, patch the appropriate bit and then write it back...

However, unless there are other major changes, there would be no harm in capturing the whole value and using the method described by Jim - to be honest, this should work just fine...

Regards,

Jon

It only changes the settings you change while in install mode, doesn't it?

Yes and that is easily done via the patented kenzig CUI trick. Going to a command prompt, running change user /install  make your changes to add the clock.  Then do a change user /execute from the command prompt.

I just set it in the mandantory profile, or one should be able to set it in the default profile if one is not using mandantory profiles

Hi Adam,

 

I've been using that script and method on all deployments for years, and it works a treat.

 

However, you need to understand that it won't change for the first login, or after you have deleted their profile….only on the second login. This is because the explorer.exe shell has already started, and initialized itself, so the registry changes will have no effect until the next time it starts. It's extremely difficult to get in and do stuff before explorer.exe initializes. You can test this by killing the explorer.exe process and starting a new one.

 

Cheers,

Jeremy.

I am beyond frustrated now. 

 

I have been trying for 3 days now to show the clock for a published desktop.  In my GPO, I have made sure to disable the choices to hide the clock and hide notification area (systray).

 

I have tried various reg hacks, to no avail.  I finally stumbled upon an old posting from Jeff Durbin on 2003 in which he posted a script file which is then referenced by usrlogon.cmd.  This still failed to work.

 

After further research another posting from Jeremy Saunders in 2007 referenced adding the following to the usrlogon.cmd:

 

cscript "%systemroot%\system32\SetTaskBarOptions.vbs" //Nologo

 

This has also failed to work.

 

Can anyone please advise?
