Create RIP to Remove Icons

1Earlier we learned  how to create RIP to add icons.
Now follow similar steps to remove them.

 

 

Use RapidInstall Editor

File New – save as a new file. Example Iconoff2.exe

 

Now to find what to remove

 

Right click in Drives box, select
New > Existing Item

 

 

 

 

 

 

2Browse down to C:\Documents and settings\all users.  You can do these steps for just that folder but then requires the Startup fixicon.bat to be run.  So do these steps in BOTH Desktop and Desktop Backup folders.

1.      Select the icon or links you want to remove.  You can use the Ctrl key to multiple select.

2.      Check the Add as a deleted item and click OK

 

Repeat in both Desktop and Desktop Backup folders.  Now to check click on the folder and you will see the items marked for removal with the red X. Here you the KidWorks is still active – I missed Add as a deleted item. Compare the 2 folders to see if missed any.

 Since we are just removing files and shortcuts that are not dependant on the operating system we can make a “universal RIP.”

 

Click the Install Conditions tab and check BOTH   Windows 2000 and XP

 

Save your new RIP.

Be sure to copy to your schools express/images/school folder so Altiris can access for a job.
