Got a problem here with a classroom full of Windows XP Pro PCs, where if I put new shortcuts into All Users\Desktop, when a user logs on they can only see the shortcut as an unknown file type which does not run. Any existing shortcuts in All Users\Desktop work ok, just not any new ones!
The PC's are on a Windows 2003 Server network (with AD) and have local user profiles.
are they shortcuts to programs installed locally or on the network? If locally, was the path of the original shortcut different in some way to where the program resides on the classroom pc?
Just because a user has full control over the folder doesn't mean they have permission for the items underneath it.
