That worked. Just marked the folder as hidden in the local user profile. I had already set up a gpo to stop the ALL USERS profile being included. <br />
<br />
Just need to convert that into a roaming profile and its done.<br />
<br />
Many thanks

I am trying to restrict the start menu for a domain user. I have managed to remove everything I want apart from the &quot;Startup&quot; folder under all programs. <br />
<br />
The start folder is empty buy it is still visible in the start menu.<br />
<br />
Is there a GPO to remove this or do I need to do something with the user profile.<br />

Small Business Server (SBS) is a line of server operating systems targeted at small businesses by bundling the operating system with a number of other Microsoft products that would normally need to be purchased or licensed separately. The most notable inclusions are Exchange, SQL Server, SharePoint and ISA/TMG (Microsoft's firewall and proxy server).

Microsoft Windows XP is the sixth release of the NT series of operating systems, and was the first to be marketed in a variety of editions: XP Home and XP Professional, designed for business and power users. The advanced features in XP Professional are generally disabled in Home Edition, but are there and can be activated. There were two 64-bit editions, an embedded edition and a tablet edition.
