Guest Jesper DK Posted September 10, 2008 Posted September 10, 2008 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 Jesper DK

Guest Jeff Pitsch Posted September 10, 2008 Posted September 10, 2008 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. -- Jeff Pitsch Microsoft MVP - Terminal Services "Jesper DK" <JesperDK@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:6AFFF4A8-D50F-4B01-9958-6C3BC82CD97C@microsoft.com... > Jep I know.

Guest jolteroli Posted September 10, 2008 Posted September 10, 2008 Re: Quick Launch - how to edit 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. -jolt "Jesper DK" <JesperDK@discussions.microsoft.com> schrieb im Newsbeitrag news:6AFFF4A8-D50F-4B01-9958-6C3BC82CD97C@microsoft.com... > Jep I know.
