Re: Windows Explorer Tool Bar

I'm not sure that you can remove the toolbar from explorer.
I'd do this: instead of starting the TS session with explorer, use
folder redirection of the Desktop to give users a read-only custom
desktop folder, which contains the shortcuts to your applications.
Then use Software Restrictions policies to allow only the
applications that you want them to run.

And to answer your last question, in case you want to continue with
explorer as the starting application: you can set it on the TS
itself, or through a GPO. But be aware that this will *not* stop
users from starting another session and get to the full desktop, as
explained here:

Does Not Work

I am setting up a Terminal Server for the purpose of serving 3
specific applications.

Users should only be able to access these 3 applications but
they need to be able to switch between the 3 and use data
between the 3. they should also be able to close an application
and open another.

To accomplish this I have created a folder with a shortcut to
each of the 3 applications and set up the terminal server to run
"explorer.exe <path>" when the user logs on.

In group policy I have been able to remove the address bar and
the File menu but I would also like to remove the edit, view,
tools, and help menu.

I have 3 questions:

1: How can I remove the other menus from the tool bar or remove
the toolbar completely.

2: If this can't be done is there a recommended way to do this?

3: How can I set up in Terminal server so that when the
application that is set to autorun closes it forces a logoff? I
know I can set it in the rdp file but a clever user can work
around that.

Thanks for your help.
