Start menu hanging

[rh91uk]

Hi all,

 

have any of you ever experienced a redirecetd start menu hanging on a roaming profile? checked all permissions ... all seem to be fine. start menu redirected to a share on our network.

 

Would appreciate any advice ... at a loss here!

Hi

 

We had something similar to this we found it to be a broken link, one of the programs shortcuts in the start menu didn't have the actual software installed on the PC if you get what I mean haha...

 

Hope this helps

I get what you mean, will look at links now. Thanks very much

 

How big is the start menu folder ?

 

Have you added or changed anything recently ?

 

Start Menu folder is 298kb (not very big at all, I think you'll agree! ;-)).

 

Thanks for all the suggestions

Start procmon running on the machine and then click start - watch as it tries to find icons etc for each program. At some point you should see "file not found" errors; that program on the start menu doesn't exist (or is in an inaccessible network location etc)

Hi all - yes, it was to do with Broken Links! can't believe I didn't think of this before!

 

Many thanks for your help.
