Disable User Editing Connections HP ThinPro 7.x (T530)

So I ran into this one yesterday.  After pushing out a configuration to our new HP T530 thin clients I was shocked to discover that one of the users had the ability with the OS locked down to delete their RDP connection icon.

I quickly recreated it on the thin client so they could log back in.  Today I set out to change the configuration and push it to all of our thin clients to prevent this from happening again.  Here's how:

1.  Go into Administrator mode on ThinPro
2.  Right click on the respective connection on the desktop.  Ex: RDP
3.  Select Edit and then go to Advanced.
4.  Remove the check box beside "Allow the user to edit this connection".

This process is the same for all connection types on the thin client.  I read through the Administrator guide and wasn't able to find a global setting so you'll need to do this for each connection type you are using.

I hope this helps prevent you running into the same issue.

Good luck!
