Hi all,
one of my server is a terminal server for application and my client
remotely connect to it to run a specific application.
it's my main concern giving the users only the ability to run that
particular application and nothing else.
the server is a windows 2000 domain controller.
the users, while connected to the server, need to open more than one
windows of the application, but the application ( a custom one) has no
file menu (no "open new windows" option available)and so specifing in
AD which application to start at log on isn't useful
I decided to use gpo.
I created an OU in which I've been creating my terminal users.
I've applied a gpo, having the following restictions, among others
things:
Under
User Configuration\Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Windows
Explorer
1- Remove File menu from Windows Explorer Enabled
2- Remove Map Network Drive and Disconnect Network Drive Enabled
3- Remove Search button from Windows Explorer enabled
4- Remove Security Tab Enabled
5- Remove Windows Explorer's default context menu Enabled


as a result of this gpo, my users won't see any icon on the desktop,
no context menu will show up while right-clicking on the desktop or on
the taskbar, but if he/she righ-clicks on the only icon in the quick
launch bar the context menu shows up and for instance he/she could
send the link by e-mail or rename the link. moreover the context menu
comes up when my users right-click on icons on the systray
Any help?
Marino

Perhaps OT, but have you checked out WSPortal at
http://www.terminal-services.net/ ? Allows you to publish apps a la Citrix.
