ADDING My Music and My Pictures to the Start Menu

M

motert

We've recently moved our users to a SAN. To cut down on space problems
we've redirected My Pictures, My Music and My Videos to the local disk.
On some users computers, these folders are missing from the Start
Menu. Is there any way by Group Policy to add them back?
