couldn't come up with a better alternative. gave up messing with the regedit and Desktop.ini.
this is what i ended up with. can u try it yourself please?
this is what u should do:
in windows 2003 server
go to your My Documents
extract the zip file and u will get two folders: My Music and My Pictures
when u have done:
go to taskbar properties > start menu > customize > advanced > my pictures set display as link
log off and then log on again.
check your start menu.
if you have already made a folder called My Music and/or My Pictures, and you have got stuff in it, please back those files up to a temp folder other wise those files will be replaced by the new empty folder. (not sure).
