DOS program will not run from shortcut

[jefhal569]

I am the administrator of a W2k profiled network. We
restrict the users desktop and what they can run by using
GPOs. Every user has a start menu that they pull from a
server.
I have resently installed a DOS based program locally on
a W2k workstation. I created the shortcut on the server
for their start menu and added all the appropiate
executables to Group Policy.
When the user clicks on the shortcut they are getting a
restriction error about not having the correct
permissions to run this program. That same user can go to
Windows Explorer and browse to the directory the program
is installed and click on the executable for the program
and the program runs fine.
I have tried to delete and recreate the shortcut with no
luck. The users are a member of the local powerusers. I
have tried making them a local admin and it still does
not work.
Any help wuld be greatly appreciated as I have been
trying to resolve this for a month now.

Make sure the shortcut is pointing to the CMD command interperter and not COMMAND command interperter. I don't know if this will help or not but CMD was made to run under windows, COMMAND was not.
