Remove New Library Button in from Library Toolbar

[leebowman]

Hello

We have a GPO setting "Prevent users from adding files to the root of their Users Files folder" as we do not want users to be able to add files to their Roaming User Profile.

This GPO causes an error when a New Library is attempted to be created.

Because of the error we would like to Remove the "New Library" button from the toolbar which appears when the Library item is selected in the navigation pane.

The following article is great, however I cannot find a reference to the "New Library" button.

Could any customisation wizkids offer any advice please?

Many Thanks

Hello Lee,

Doing step 7 in the tutorial below to remove "New -> Library" from the context menu will not remove the "New Library" toolbar button, but it will also effectively disable it. It may be a good workaround for you.

Hope this helps,

Brink,

This is great thank you! It is nice that it prevents the error and removes the Right Click Menu Option.

Will continue to look to see if "New Library" can be removed from the toolbar

Many Thanks Again
