Hi Guys,

I have a RDP setup with RDCB and RDSH servers. Now I have enabled a GPO for restricting users Desktop and Start menu by using following policy.
User Configuration >> Administrative Templates >> Windows Components >> Remote Desktop Services >> Remote Desktop Session Host >> Remote Session Environment >> Start a program on connection policy

Everything is working as expected now the problem is I need a provide users to open Windows Explorer. Now is there any way to run explorer or any shortcut to open Downloads folder for users.

    Hey Karlie,

    Thanks for the reply but with that solution I can only run single application. Now I want to add another application on start up like Windows Explorer.

    I solved this by adding a start up script. If is there any other solution please do let me know.

    Hello @Ajith Borra

    You may configure a gpo for required users and set the policy : Run these programs at user logon
