Quick Launch - how to edit

[Guest Jesper DK]

I have a Win 2003R2 terminal server, that I have locked down a little to

much. Because of the Group Policy setting "Prevent access to drives on my

computer", users are not able to edit the content of Quick Launch, so that it

can contain Word and Excel. Now I dont want to remove the setting, because I

dont want users to have access to the drives. But what can I do to "create"

the right Quick Launch bar, with the icons that I want in. I should mention

that they use roaming profiles.

 

Best regards

You can add icons to users quick launch by going to c:\documents and

settings\<username>\application data\microsoft\internet explorer\quick

launch"

that enables the users to du it themselvs.

Re: Quick Launch - how to edit

 

If you've prevented them access there's not going to be much of a way of

doing it. I think you could give them command line but hat would defeat the

purpose. If you want it to automatically fill it, you could use a script to

easily populate the icon area.

why don't you tell them to drag'n'drop existing/created shortcuts just to

the quick launch area in the taskbar?

 

programmatically: enumerate all the profiles from the registry (profiles

list) and use the path Jeff told you to create shortcuts there. vbs/c/cpp

whatever you want will do the job.
