HI can anyone help me??
I am new to terminal server and am trying to publish an
application so my users can see only those applications I
want when they open their individual sessions

Thanks

Publishing applications is a feature that comes with Citrix on top
of Windows Terminal Services.

If you don't run Citrix, there are a couple of things you can do
to mimic published applications:

* create a custom desktop for the users on the TS, with only the
shortcuts to the programs that you want them to run. Create a
Group Policy to redirect them to this custom desktop (and possibly
also a custom Start Menu). Use NTFS permissions and/or possibly
AppSec from the Resource Kit to prevent them from running other
applications.
This approach is the easiest to implement and manage

* if you have only a very limited number of applications, you can
create a custom rdp connection for each application and save it on
the users client desktop. Configure each custom rdp connection to
start a different application. Users will never see the Terminal
Server desktop at all. A pain with many users and/or many
applications.

In your RDP-TCP connection properties in terminal services
configuration, there is a place where you can specify the
application to start when the client connects.
Alternatively, you can set this default application to
start through the RDP client on the client machine.
Either way will work so that only one program will start
when the user logs in.

in otherwords you don't want explorer as a shell, but just those apps. 3rd
party s/w will replace your shell and show JUST the applications that you
want. Mine is AppLauncher and there are others much more money.
