thanks Darren,
was kindo of expecting not to have to go back to the old way of doing
thins if possinle but if that program data is efectively the all users
profile it loogs like all this stuff will have to be removed from there
with a script as you suggest as theres a lot of machines to be rolled
out.
thanks for youy help
Ronnie

Program Data is the Vista equivalent of the All Users profile,
so if you are telling GP to remove those folders, then its likely doing
something in the shell to prevent any from showing up. I think your
choices are to use a startup script to remove all the unwanted shortcuts
and program groups (either by moving those to a different folder or
deleting them) or using a logon script to copy a shortcut into each
user's profile for the program you want.

Hi
will try this one again as its driving me up the walls and I
cant beleive on one else has had this issue.
When you have an out of the box Vista build with all media
player, movie maker etc...
All tis apears on your start programs menu.
Is there a way to control these shortcuts that comes from the
Program Data \Microsoft\Windows\start Menu\Programs folder.
I have tried removeing access useing file security but the icon
still apears. I was able to hide the icon and it does disapear but I can
see how I would do this at a computer level GPO.
The settings I mentioned below Remove common program groups
from start menu does remove all of these programs but I do want to have
a couple of programs in the start menu. even I manually copy it to the
profile of the user nothing apears .
thanks
Ronnie

Hi ,
I've been tying down a Vist PC so that nothing only Ie runs on
it. This was all fine but now I have a requirement to have Adobe on as
well.
SO I basically have the Admin Temples--> Start Menu and Task bar
--> Remove common program groups from start menu.
This is fine as it does don't display all the programs like
media player ect..
but I cant get the Adobe icon to even display here and its in
the Program Data windows start menu folder and in the default user start
menu.
All I really want is just the adobe icon to be in the users
start menu.
I am trying to not use roaming profiles for these users.
thank
Ronnie
