Hi,

I have some XP Pro sp1 PCs logging into a w2k AD with GPO
set up to redirect their start menus to a network
directory. All was working fine till last week when I
changed the GPO to not enforce classic shell. Now the
folder redirection only changes the start Menu setting in
the registry, and not the start menu\programs or startup
settings which still point to the users local document and
settings folder. The users also get an event ID101, access
denied in the policy event log. I have seen several
postings that suggest unchecking the Grant User Exclusive
Rights box on the settings tab of foleder redirection. My
problem is that the setting is greyed out so I can't
change it. Does anyone have any ideas please as my users
now have the wrong programs list on their start menu.

Thanks in advance

Kevin

Hi,

I have just cut and pasted the error message into notepad
and noticed what the problem appears to be. It is a
combination of 2 things (which seem to have happened since
changing from classic shell to standard xp shell)
1. the redirected path final directory contained spaces
and the system was truncating the path at the first one. I
have used browse to the network path (through entire
network\microsoft networking) to resolve this bit.

The 2nd bit was Not having a Programs sub directory under
the redirected start menu directory. Adding a Programs dir
fixed that.

Come back nt4 policies. All is forgiven.

Kevin
