How can I add Start Menu items to computers and or users via group policy.

I am using Windows 2003 Active Directory and Windows XP clients.

I have looked in a few Microsoft books and all over the web and I see there
is "Folder Redirection" available. One of the MS books recomends not to use
Folder Redirection but to add the Start Menu items via group policy. I can
not find out how to do that.

I tried the folder redirection on my "Techie" group, but now every
workstation I log in to it copies start menu items to the folder on the
server and passes those shortcuts to the next computer I log into.

I want to be able to put shortcuts in a folder on the server and have those
added to the start menu, not replace the ones that are already there.

Can someone please point me in the right direction so I can solve this
problem.

Thanks in advance.
Bill
 
Hello Bill

I will recommend to use a logon script within a GPO to add shortcuts to the
local computer, in your case to the start menu
