Chris,
I do this via GPO settings under the Start Menu and Task Bar à Remove common
program groups from start menu should remove all unwanted stuff.
I then copy what each user needs based on an AD group using GPP prefrences
which I find works quite well

Subject: [THIN] OT - Creating a custom start menu / desktop
Hi all,
A little OT but I've done something similar in the past for published desktops
so was wondering if anyone could throw any pointers my way.
I've been asked to build a set of Vista desktops with a heavily locked down UI
- part of this is a restricted, non changable set of apps in the start menu and
desktop (i.e. Office + core apps).
I've done something very similar in the past for some Citrix published desktops
on 2003 so I imagine the process would be very similar - i.e. just redirect a
users start and desktop folders to a common location - however for the life of
me I can't get this to work.
I've tried to use group policy preferences but I'm still finding the users
start menu populated with stuff I don't want (i.e. "Accessories" menu item) -
even though I've set User Config > Policies > Admin Templates > Start Menu and
Taskbar > Remove Common program groups from the start menu.
Has anyone done this in Vista / 2008 and is able to give me a few pointers?
Chris
