Scenario:

Shared Custom Folders
Shared Start Menu
Shared Programs

NT Workstations

Everything works fine with NT. When upgrading to W2000, the Start Menu does not work. In fact, it just freezes....not the whole computer but the start menu and you can't get to any programs off the start menu.

Any ideas?

The way to deal with this might be to use the start menu in the 'All Users' profile.

For the custom folders and programs, what may be happening is that the permissions on one or more of your shared folders are preventing the system from accessing the contents. This is especially true if any user is trying to access anything in another user's profile directory. Track down which folders are being accessed and fix the permissions. (Setting failure auditing should locate the problems.)

Goodluck.
