Hi Folks,
I cannot figure this one out...
I was Cleaning up the start menu on a W2K Terminal Server, I was logged in as myself, a domain administrator. I took a copy of the 'all users' profile programs start menu item onto my desktop and deleted the contents of the start menu programs folder. I then rebuilt a start menu more relevant to the users who log onto this server. Once finished I tried to delete the old programs folder from my desktop, windows refused to let me do this saying it was a system folder required to run. I eventually deleted the folder using the rmdir -s command. The end I thought...
No... now when I create new users they all have this programs folder on the desktop. It is not in the all users profile or the default user profile and alwas comes back if you delete it from the locally cached profile and the roaming profile.
Seems like the system folder attributes were copied across with the folder and have got stuck somewhere in the registry. Anybody else had this problem (or similar) and fixed it?
