I posted this in the 2003 Forum, but havent gotten any answers. I dont think the
problem is specific to 2003, so Ill reask it here...
Man...Im not even sure how to ask this question.
On a 2003 DC, I have set up roaming profiles, and let windows create the folders.
All seems to be working correctly, except I can see everyones profile folder in the
"All Programs" section of the start menu. I am almost certian that I have permissions
set incorrectly to cause this, but I am not able to find the correct way to set the
permissions. This happens when anyone with roaming profiles logs into any box on
the domain. Anyone have any ideas as to what I have done wrong? Here is a screen
shot of what I am talking about. http://www.adobecomputers.com/server.bmp Thanks

Where have you defined the roaming profiles to be stored? (it looks like you're storing
them in the All Users profile!)
The all programs list is a combination of the folders under C:\Documents and Settings\All
Users\Start Menu\Programs and C:\Documents and Settings\Username\Start Menu\Programs
on the local machine. So either you've managed to copy all those folders to the All
users profile on all the local machines, or the roaming profile contains all those
folders - or there's something very odd going on.
So, in AD for Users & Computers, what's the location of the roaming profile (is it
different for each user - or are they all pointing to the same one?) for each user.

Hi Steve
I was half right...I did cause the problem, but it wasnt the permissions that were
the culprit. I had misdirected a folder in the Folder Redirects of the GPO. This
was causing the Start Menu to see all of the folders in the "Users" folder. Nothing
like learning it the hard way...Ill never forget it.
Thanks
Greg
