    Folks

    A client has asked this of me and I am looking for a little best practice
    guidance:

    We have a W2K/Terminal Server/Citrix policy implemented to restict users
    from accessing the systemdrive. (M:)

    The systemdrive is also hidden and not accessible because of this policy.

    Eveything works fine BUT we discovered that when a user opens his START menu
    and he/she doubleclicks on "Programs" the windows explorer opens
    M:\Documents and Settings\%username%\Start Menu\Programs. From that point
    the user can navigate up to the systemroot.

    OS is Windows 2000

    I don't believe that a policy exists in Windows 2000 that will affect this
    behaviour.

    Any thoughts around policies or NTFS rights that I can use to stop or
    mitigate this?

    Thanks in advance
    Cheers

    James D. Stallard
