How would one go about Forcing .lnk association in gpo to prevent change?

-

greetings , salutations. network administrator school district , rolled out new server 2008 r2 domain. know quite behind in times have understand how stubborn board of education can in regards upgrading existing domain. got rid of nt servers. anyway beside point, new domain have been rolling out windows 7 machines , have been running strange phenomenon. when of our students log computer changes .lnk association seemingly randomly. know not virus because of windows 7 machines brand new clean images. more frustrating let's have 2 students, student , student b. student logs computer , .lnk association connected ie unknown reason. student b uses computer b , .lnk association connected adobe reader. both students swap computers , student logs computer b , .lnk works intended, same student b on computer a. not user based, , not computer based have been racking brain on since school started right after labor day.

right solution have involves applying registry setting in gpo follows:

hive: hkey_current_user

key path: software\microsoft\windows\currentversion\explorer\fileexts\.l​nk

value name: userchoice

action: delete

so while work, unfortunately works after user has been affected. if student logs computer , .lnk connected ie again, if log off , log in on same machine registry key gets deleted , resorts default settings intended. want enforce .lnk association it's default setting can never changed means. going try using gpp unfortunately have specify specific executable know won't work .lnk. looking ideas because brain fried , need sorted out before superiors flip out @ fact going on several weeks no fix in sight. appreciated.

you using local profiles? behaviour of student a/b on computer a/b expected.

for how prevent: impossible through gpo. need change acls on reg key, , gpo cannot that. need script , "setacl" (www.helgeklein.com, afaik).

no not evil, if know doing: or bad gpos?
