Network users cannot run shortcut items placed into All Users Desktop folder

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.

It's any shortcut. Even if you create a shortcut to something like Notepad you still have the problem.

If you delete the local user profile and log in again as a certain user, the problem remains.

I know that things we're working ok last time I created shortcuts a few weeks ago.
