clareq Posted July 5, 2016 Posted July 5, 2016 We redirect favorites to \\server\users$\\favorites and on Windows 7 it works well. However, for one user, in Windows 10 LTSB, using IE11 clicking on a favorite does nothing. Going to properties of the shortcut and copying and pasting the URL works. The user has full control of the redirected folder, and can add shortcuts. Other Windows 10 users are fine. What am I missing?
sted Posted July 5, 2016 Posted July 5, 2016 in explorer or in ie itself? if its explorer id guess the file association was borked in some way and it cant decide what browser to launch so gives in
ColinP Posted July 6, 2016 Posted July 6, 2016 Are you saying that when you click favorites you can see all your favorites but when you click on them nothing happens?
clareq Posted July 6, 2016 Author Posted July 6, 2016 Exactly that. If I right click, go to Properties and copy the URL I can paste it into IE and go to the site.
itwasntme Posted July 6, 2016 Posted July 6, 2016 @clareq I am seeing the same behaviour right now in latest win10 (14372) logged in as an admin.
ColinP Posted July 7, 2016 Posted July 7, 2016 I had this problem, i think the default group policy is a bit messed up, if you open internet explorer>internet Options > Advanced> restor Advanced settings> your favorites should work, then copy the settings into your IE GPO
