Icon[t] believe it! :P

I've got a strange problem with a new sims install

 

Staff have standard profiles - not redirected. No start menu redirection either.

 

The shortcut copied to the default user doesn't appear on the start menu for staff. Logged in as admin you can see it's there, and that the permissions are ok.

 

Any one - help!

1) That joke was terrible....

 

2) you mean not in all programs or recent list?

 

3) have you tried redistributing the shortcut?

The only time I've seen this is when I've copied a start menu folder/icon and not reset the permissions. I know you said you've checked them but are you really sure?

 

Also, any errors regarding group policies? If the staff previously had had redirected start menus and you've disabled them I can see that you might get these symptoms if there was a problem moving the start menu to the new location (permissions again basically).

If you moved it rather than copied from the admin account then other users may not have permissions to view it.

 

Permissions are preserved when moving files on the same partition.

All Users and Default User ChrisC

 

Used xcopy Geoff - rechecking permissions. Previously redirected yes - I'm looking at that one too.

 

No not moved NG

Surely you should put in the All Users profile.

 

It will only appear for new users if you copy it to the Default User profile.

[still not tested btw] I put it in both NG - I removed the local profiles then logged in expecting it to refresh - hmmm - wonders - just did a quick and dirty delete - not the proper way...

I thought SIMS installed it's shortcuts to All Users anyway. There is a policy setting which prevents users from seeing the content of the All Users start menu/desktop; are other shortcuts from All Users appearing?

[NetworkGeezer]

@aj .. interesting

 

@mark

Are the shortcuts visible if you DIR them from the command prompt?

[MkII]

sorted - re-copied the shortcut and made sure it was from the all user version.

 

Thanks for your help guys.
