taskbar and start menu lockdown

[Sherry]

Hi all,
I have a need to lock down start menu and taskbar for my
users. I have set the lock down in group policy. Now I
need a way as the administrator to setup their quick
launch taskbar with icons. I know the location of their
quick launch is under their user folder under a folder
called microsoft. The problem I am having is that that
folder is owned by the user. I changed the ownership to
administrator but that messed up their settings. My
question is "Is there a way for the administrator to add
icons to users quick launch toolbar say by using the run
as option? If so, could you please tell me how; or if
their is another way, please let me know. I really need
the taskbar and start menu locked for the user as we are
still using old software that requires mapping the the
actual program files.
Thanks in advance for any help you can give me.
Sherry

Create the desktop you want your users to have and using a GPO redirect all
of your user to this desktop.
