Win2003: "Recent" folder Common Open Dialog PAIN!

Hello!

We have users on our TS servers which are restricted via GPO to do a lot.
Our application uses the Commom Open File dialog box but when users do this,
the drop down box defaults to the "Recent" folder which produces a "This
action has been canceled due to restriction on this computer..." message.

I don't WANT "Recent Docuements" - how do I get rid of it or get around this
error otherwise!?!?

Thanks for any help, this is when Windows drives me crazy!

-Mike

• Hide the common dialog places bar

Recommended setting: Enabled

This policy removes the shortcut bar from the Common Open File
dialog box. This feature was originally added in Windows 2000, so
disabling it makes it look as it did in Windows NT 4.0 and earlier.
These policies affect only programs that use the common dialog box.
It is recommended that you enable this policy to remove easy access
to browsing the network or the local computer.

• Items displayed in Places Bar

This policy allows you to replace the Place Bar items in the Common
Open File dialog box with predefined entries. To view this bar,
start Notepad, select File, and then click Open.
