windows cannot find /idlist

[MrP37]

We are using roaming profiles and on one XP desktop when logging in a message pops up saying:
Windows cannot find /idlist,:188:3608,H:\. Make sure you typed the name correctly and try again.

Any ideas?

If anyone calls and says "I know a little something about computers" just tell them to reformat it.

Thanks for that but there are no spaces in the Logon script unfortunately.

When the explorer shell is first launched it attempts:

SystemRoot%\Explorer.exe /idlist,%I,%L

/IDLIST
This is an additional parameter that means a Windows internal structure is being passed. eg:
Explorer.exe /e,/idlist,%I

The %I is a replacable parameter representing an IDLIST.
%L is a long file name or in your case a directory path.

I think DestinysDream is on the right path. Open up again the user profile and explicitly make sure the profile path is empty or set exactly as you want. There can be null or ASCII values > 127 characters there.

I think your both in the right area as there is something funny going on when logging in. The strange bit is, it only happens on one Pc. If they log into another one they have no problems.
But I'll check out this area and see what I can find.
