Comments on: how to do folder redirection without GPO in Active directory http://itknowledgeexchange.techtarget.com/itanswers/active-directory-7/ Sun, 19 May 2013 00:45:31 +0000 hourly 1 By: swood http://itknowledgeexchange.techtarget.com/itanswers/active-directory-7/#comment-51061 swood Tue, 08 Jan 2008 16:57:27 +0000 #comment-51061 When using GPO to redirect the Start menu it’ll redirect all areas of the start ment, I’ve found it best to use a script to redirect areas seperatley.

Example:

Redirect the key below to a shared location to display network programs etc.

HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders\Start Menu

Direct the keys below to the local profile so that local programs are still available.

HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders\StartUp
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders\Programs

Example line of script:
WshShell.RegWrite “HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders\Start Menu”, “\\server\sysvol\sharedMenu”, “REG_EXPAND_SZ”

Hope this helps.
