Depending on the complexity of your installation, you might like to consider
the freeware StartBuild utility, available from http://thethin.net
<http://thethin.net> . It will generate a unique start menu for each of your
users, based on their NT group memberships. Download from
http://thethin.net/startbuild.zip <http://thethin.net/startbuild.zip>

Subject: [THIN] NTFS permissions



Sorry for the off subject post but this is a little Citrix related and I'm
sure someone here knows the answer. 

 

I have many types of users connecting to my Citrix farm. Some receive the
full desktop some only receive published applications depending on their
needs. The published desktop is extremely locked down and only provides the
programs they need. Within the desktop the programs are provided by a
redirected start menu. I am using NTFS permissions to control what a user
can access on the start menu. 

 

My problem is if I have two applications (or more) within a single folder on
the start menu and the user only has NTFS permissions to access one he can
still see both. The application that he does not have access to shows up but
he cannot run the application. Is there anyway using NTFS permissions to
keep the icon he does not have access to from showing up?

 

If I recall correctly this is kind of a NTFS permissions problem. Within
Novell if you don't have access to a file you don't see it but within
Windows you can still see the file. I've enclosed a small photo so you can
see the actual problem.

 

Thanks very much for your help!!
