Start Menu - All Programs - All users/Current user (Default user)

Posted: 08-07-2003, 09:02 PM
Due to a policy setting that was apparently changed on the
NT 4.0 SP6 PDC, all computers, all users including local
users on the local machines now will not display the
contents of the "%system_root%\documents and settings\all
users\programs" directory and will only display the
current users' custom menu/installed programs.

I'm looking for the local policy editor "gpedit.msc" or
registry settings for the reconfigureation of the menu.

Coul it also be a change in rights on the above directory
(ies)?

Thanks,

Gary

Hello Gary,

Do you mean that all users do not display the contents in "C:\Documents and
Settings\All Users\Start Menu\Programs"?

If you log on as an Administrator, can you view the programs in
"C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu\Programs"? Please create a
new Administrator account and test if the problem occurs with the new
account.

Thanks.
