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?

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?

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.
