Server 2003 - Start Menus of XP Clients

slipd · 28 Jul 2012 at 00:17

Hi guys,

How do I fully take control of what I want in my client menus? I know I can remove all the obvious in gp but how do I actually 'get into' my clients' menu and start adding my own software shortcuts and links etc. I'm sure this has been simplified in 2008 :rolleyes:

Thanks.

Login script would be the simplest way, literally setting it to copy in shortcuts you want and remove the ones you don't from (assuming it's XP) c:\documents and settings\all users\start menu.

Can probably be done by VB script easily enough too, I like old school methods as I'm old

Start Menu redirection. This means you can drop a shortcut onto the server somewhere where you defined in GP and then have it appear instantly on the users start menu.
