Hi,
I need some help with the group policy editor.. I have Windows XP Pro
machines connecting to a Windows 2000 Domain Controller. The user accounts
are on the domain controller and I am logging onto the domain from the
client machine without any problem. I have the user profiles mapping the U:
drive to a network share (\\server\userdata\%username%) and that is all
working fine.
My problem is this -- the users are currently unable to move the taskbar
("lock the taskbar" is checked and when I click on it, it does not turn off)
and when the user changes the settings of the start menu to "Classic Start
Menu" the settings takes effect but is lost the next time the user logs in.
I have changed the setting "Disable Changed to the Start Menu and Task Bar"
in the Group Policy editor (through the MMC) to "Disable" for the group
policy for both the DEFAULT DOMAIN POLICY and the DEFAULT DOMAIN CONTROLLER
POLICY, but the user is still unable to make the changes mentioned above.
My question is -- which of the two group policies should I be editting? (or
is there a different one all together?) and have I changed the "Disable
Changed to the Start Menu and Task Bar" setting correctly for what I want to
do? and finally, are there other changes I have to make to give the users
the ability to change the taskbar?
I would also like to redirect the location of the MY DOCUMENTS folder to the
"U:" drive, but when I try changing this on the users desktop, the O/S won't
let me make the change, and when I've tried to change this setting in the
group policy this has not taken effect either.
Finally, I have put myself in the ADMINISTRATORs group on the Win2K server
and even I can't change my taskbar or startmenu..
Thanks
Rich
