Taskbar File Explorer

[Bankesy]

Good afternoon

 

I wonder if anybody has come across this same problem whereby a user login\profile does not display a File Explorer icon in the Taskbar on any given device running Windows 10 (anniversary) when other accounts do.

 

I just thought it would be user thing but created a new account which still had the same problem so that kind of suggests otherwise but as far as I know we don't have anything governing or dictating the appearance of the icon.

 

Any suggestions welcome.

 

Thank you

I think the Task Bar is stored in AppData Roaming somewhere, I could be wrong.

You're right, there is a location for the Taskbar somewhere in that region and when other users logon there is a shortcut for File Explorer.

 

I have tried copying and pasting the File Explorer shortcut to that location for the affected account but it made no difference, I have tried changing anything I can think of AD wise such as moving the user into another OU and playing about with group memberships but to no avail.

 

I even pinned the File Explorer shortcut to the Taskbar for that user on one machine but at next login you can see it gets deleted, event viewer throws up a couple of errors regarding folder redirection.

Are you redirecting App Data or using Roaming profiles ?
