When trying to log on to NT 4.0 Workstation, connected to an NT ServerI get a pop up that says Desktop:  Path too long.  I know the path is not too long certainly not 255 characters.  What is calling this path and how do I fix this?  LDT
 
Hi,<br><br>Log on as the local Administrator and verify that either the user or a group (of which the user is a member) has at least read access to the root of the system drive. To accomplish this if the desktop is blank, follow the procedure below:<br>&nbsp;<br>1. Start Task Manager by pressing CTRL+ALT+DELETE.<br>2. On the File menu, click New Task.<br>3. In the Run dialog box, start Explorer.exe or Winfile.exe.<br>4. View the security permissions of the system drive.<br>If the user or group does not have this access, add it to the directory permissions for the user or group. Do not select the Apply To Subdirectories check box.<br><br>Try this out.<br><br><A HREF="mailto:dassraji@hotmail.com">dassraji@hotmail.com</A><br>
