Guest Sandy Wood Posted October 7, 2008 Posted October 7, 2008 With the great help from these Technet forums, I've gotten my TS folder redirection working to point my users to a cust Start Menu. My only issue now is finding a way to get rid of the Startup folder that gets created when I login with a normal user account. It also adds the test user's account to the ACL list permanently too. Is this expected behaviour? -- Sandy Wood Orange County District Attorney
Guest Jeff Pitsch Posted October 8, 2008 Posted October 8, 2008 Re: Start Menu Folder Redirection working - almost I don't know of way of getting rid of the start up folder. is it critical that it's not there? As for the ACL modification, that is not expected behavior. Do you have permissions set correctly for them to be able to minimally read from the folder structure?

Guest Sandy Wood Posted October 8, 2008 Posted October 8, 2008 Re: Start Menu Folder Redirection working - almost After doing some snooping around I found that the Startup folder (as well as Accessories) appeared to be getting loaded from the Default Users profile. I tested deleting the folders from Default Users and that did the trick. I also found that there were Create Files / Create Folders permissions on my Custom Startup menu. I removed them so that Users had just Read and Execute. The menu still loads fine as well. I had a problem with a third-party application that installed itself from a web site via a Java vm. At the end of the install, it puts a shortcut on the user Desktop as well as the Custom Start menu. By changing the folder permissions to Read and Execute the shortcut is not created but the program still runs fine. I didn't want a shortcut put on my custom Start menu that I didn't approve and test. I'm just about finished with my configuration and ready to deploy my newly minted server. One last thing that still alludes me is how to remove the Synchronize option from the Windows Explorer Tools menu. I've disabled Offline Files but I'd sure like to remove the menu option some way. Thanks again for your help with my issues. -- Sandy Wood Orange County District Attorney "Jeff Pitsch" wrote: > I don't know of way of getting rid of the start up folder. is it > critical that it's not there?
