Metaframe 1.8 SP1 TS SP6 with Microsoft Hotfix for Browser hangs.

1 server of 3. When users try to run a program, the splash screen appears and then nothing happens. I ran Filemon to see what was really happening and it was looking for the .lnk file in a user profile on the desktop. I have tried moving things around in the profiles, but have not had any success.

Not all users of this server have this problem.

Any ideas? [sig][/sig]
 
If not all users on the server have this problem, try deleting the locally cached profiles (in %systemroot%\profiles).

It seems odd that it should be looking for the *.lnk file if the splash screen has been displayed - is there nothing further down the logfile that may indicate another problem?

What happens with the *.lnk file? Does it report access denied? Where is the location of this file?
