    Keeping users from disabling Spotlight


    I am having trouble with students being able to change their lock screen image to whatever they want.
    I have already looked at group policy and tried enabling the "Prevent changing lock screen image" policy. This does reset the image to the default beach lock screen image for students that changed theirs, but computers with windows spotlight no longer change. Disabling this policy changes everything back. This policy is also only available for each computer and I would like to allow staff members to change their lock screen if they wish.
    Is there a registry key or group policy that will force spotlight on for each student?
    Thank you!
    -Joel
