    Looking for a way to completely disable virtual desktops


    Working in a school environment we are trying to find a way via GPO to completely disabel the virtual desktops for our workstations. We have pt in place the setting to hide the taskbar icon but the WIN-CTRL-D shortcut is still accessible. The registry hacks to disable the WIN hotkey or specific hotkeys (DisabledHotKeys) does not work. Is there a way?

    :)
