We have a set of common network programs that are accessed on a file server. In the past we have used a logon script to delete/xcopy a Program group and all the shortcuts to the the TOP of All Users Start Menu for convienence.

eg
RMDIR /s /q "c:\documents and settings\all users\start menu\Office Apps"
xcopy "\\Server\office apps" /e /i /q /y "c:\documents and settings\all users\start menu\Office Apps"

I recently tried to use the Start Menu redirection which kinda works. The program group is added just fine to the TOP of the start menu but I'm finding its messing with the rest of the All Programs & Startup items. When installing programs there is errors trying create Icons because the common Start Menu I have setup is RX.

Question
Is there a way besides using the old script to keep an updated list of program/template shortcuts in the Start Menu for all computers.??
