I have previously used Windows Server 2003 to setup folder redirection of the Start Menu in a Group Policy (User configuration, Folder redirection, Start Menu - C:\START menu). I then copied all of the links to the programs that I wanted the user
to see in the customized Start Menu when they logged on and this worked great (all shortcuts to run programs were copied to C:\start menu directory on the local machine running XP Professional).
I am trying to do the same thing using Server 2008 R2 and Windows 7 Professional. The Start Menu gets redirected and the customized menu is copied, however when I click the START button and choose all programs, no programs appear in the list. However, when I click the START button and right click ALL PROGRAMS and choose OPEN, it shows C:\start menu (which is my redirected START MENU) and all the programs that I customized appear in the list.
Any thoughts on why the programs do not appear in Windows 7 when you click START and ALL PROGRAMS?
