Subject: [THIN] How to selectively disable the contents of the "All users"
profile folder?

I'm just in the process of setting up my first W2K3 / MPS3 server. Our main
app seems very sensitive to user profile corruption so I'm setting the new
farm up in a semi-mandatory profile arrangement. Because we already have an
existing 1.8 farm and I don't want to screw around with existing profiles
I'm using the W2K3 ability to specify TS profiles on a per-server basis,
which doesn't work properly with mandatory profiles, sadly. Instead, I've
setup the per-server profile to point to an empty folder, which forces
everybody to use the "Default User" profile on the server. At logoff, I use
Kix to manually change the profile type in the registry to mandatory, so it
isn't unloaded to the fileserver. This gives me a reasonable facsimile of
mandatory profiles without interfering with my existing farm.

However, the shortcuts in the "All users" profile are also loaded at
startup, adding lots of unwanted icons to users redirected start menus. I
don't want to just clear the folder out because administrators need access
to all the shortcuts. Is it possible to tell W2K3 not to use the "All users"
settings?

Also, my users redirected folders keep growing shortcuts for Outlook
Express, IE and others. I don't want these so can that "useful" function be
disabled as well?

Angus
