Hello All,
On a published desktop, I have shortcuts that point to
n:\users\%username%\appdir

If I connect via RDP the shortcuts work.
If I connect via ICA they don't.

So I tested it a bit. From a cmd prompt in ICA,
"echo %username%" ...yeilds... %username%...it isn't resolving the environment variable!

Any idea how I can fix this?

Many thanks for anything you can offer --jerry
 
Additional Info:
I right-clicked my computer -> manage -> environment variables and NEITHER login explicitly assigns the %username% variable.

Things like %tmp% etc that are in the above dialog DO work in both environments.
