All.. My Win2k3 is in my daughters room, which she users for her desktop and works fine as she's configured to logon locally. I have my wife's and i's roaming profiles setup and their working fine. my question(s): 1) I installed all my software on this server to a local drive, there all the programs installed show up on her start menu from the Documents and Setting/All Users/ profile. As i have a separate local account on this box i used to install this software and for maintenance i need these programs to show up on my start menu, but how can i have them NOT show on hers? Solutions that DIDN'T work: 1) i went into the GPEDIT.MSC and modified Administrative Templates to not show the /All Users folder and what was installed under their own profile. That worked for MY roaming profile, but hers is local to the box and it won't for some reason allow me customized it to each user, just globally. I also can't point her profile to the other roaming profiles, i guess cause she logs onto the actual server. Basically i don't want her to see/use the programs that are installed in /All Users settings and for me to build a custom one. Should i build Software policies to deny access to those directories and let her see them but not use them? thanks again...

I customize the startupmenu for my local users by deleting everything from the allusers/startmenu folder which I don't want to be seen and add to the more advanced users own startmenu folder what I want them to see. Windows is mixing the allusers and specific user startmenu folders. There might be another solution, but for me it works fine. AA

All Users is just that. If you don't want individual profiles to access those shortcuts, you'll need to move them out of the All Users profile. Soylent Green is PEOPLE!!!
