Re: Adding Start Menu Icons to TS user profiles....

Tech Tip: Click here to run a free scan for Windows Errors and optimize PC performance

If you want to add shortcuts for all users, you can add them to the
All Users profile (make sure that the security settings are correct
when copying shortcuts from your administrator account!).
If you wouldn't have existing profiles, you could use a GPO with
Start Menu redirection to let different user groups receive
different customized Start Menus, as explained here (for desktops
icons, but the same applies to Start Menus):

How can I configure different TS desktops, based on user group
membership?

But since you already have a bunch of personal profiles, you need
to use some other method. You can either create a login script
which copies the shortcuts into the %userprofile%\Start Menu when
the users log on, or you can use folder redirection to give all
users the same customized Start Menu with *all* shortcuts, and then
use Access based Enumeration to make them "invisible" for some
users. Link with details about ABE on the page above.

Note: the above methods all create shortcuts on the regular area of
the Start Menu. Users will have to "pin" them themselves. If you
want to provided them with shortcuts in the pin area, you'll have
to use a login script. Here's how:

Hello,

I want to add several Icons to the Start Menu pin-up area for
some of my TS users.

I can't seem to figure out where I should add these in the users
TS profiles.

All user have separate TS profiles stored in share off the TS's
(no default or mandatory).

Any help would be great,

Thanks much,

Mark
