Problem with icons on systems with different processors...

[talksr]

Hi, my school uses Wauton Samuel for their MIS which uses Access as a front end.

We have Server 2008 and Windows 7 pro clients.

 

Each system is on domain and each user has their own account. Desktops are not set on gpolicy, only my docs redirection.

The problem I have is that some systems have 64bit processors and others have 32bit.

When a user who frequently uses a 32bit system, goes and logs into a 32bit system, they click on their waton samuel icon, and an error is thrown up as it can't get the path of the shortcut.

 

Is there a way around this? Can I do some kind of redirection on each desktop so that the server finds the icons on the local system somewhere like C:\Icons, I could then, on each system put the correct icons in this folder?

 

I am just trying to think of ideas to clean this problem up a little. The easiest option would be to just have two icons. One for 64bit and one for 32, but the version we have has 3 icons.

MIS,Work Force Census and Web Services. I don't fancy having 4 to 6 icons on a desktop. It will make things very confusing for them.

Any help would be really great.

Some ideas put forward there might be of use to you perhaps?
