User logs in and the domain gives them a temporary profile. Receives an error indicating "WINDOWS CANNOT COPY FILE,FILE NAME OR EXTENSION IS TOO LONG". There is one file that is a shortcut in their recent folder that is the culprit. I can remove this and get them back in, but this is a link to a website the user is on for production purposes fairly frequently. It continues to occur. Is there a way I can keep this from happening? I have this registry fix that is supposed to clear the recent folder before they log out but I don't think it is working. Any other ideas?
