I'm not sure what to call this problem, but some of my users when logging in to terminal server have access to everyone else's personal folders. As in I have 2 users that when they hit the start button at the very top where internet explorer and the like would be they just have a listing of every one in my company's personal folders. I believe there are 2 users that I know of this is happening on. I have checked active directory and they are in different departments with no common thread that I can attribute the problem to. Anyway I have no clue what to search microsoft help for as I'm not sure of a good way to describe this. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
 
Is the Terminal Server the same server that houses the home directories? If so, check to be sure that you dont have the Everyone group set on NTFS permissions as they are different from share permissions. Good Luck!

"Experince That Counts
 
No, we have 3, a mail server, terminal server, and another one that houses all the user folders.
 
Right Click Properties on your Users share on the file server and check the Share Permissions and the NTFS permissions. That would be the first place to start... There has to be some variable that connects the share/folder to the users that are getting access.

"Experince That Counts
 
I certainly don't see anything that would only be giving those 2 access, and they are only mapped to their own folder. I honestly have no idea.
