[THIN] Can't pass %USERPROFILE% environmental variable to an icon as a parameter in Win2003 TS?

I'm running a Win2003 TS. User logs in as Power User. There's a shortcut
icon on the desktop, that has this, as the TARGET of the icon:
"C:\Program Files\Atwin\Atwin32.exe" "%USERPROFILE%\RS6000.cfg"
This doesn't seem to work for all users. The application (atwin32.exe) is
not reading the config file at %USERPROFILE%\RS6000.cfg. It starts up with
no config file (atwin32 is Accuterm 97, a terminal emulation program)
(file does exist; SECURITY tab of that file shows that user has all access
rights; once the app starts, I can do a FILE, OPEN, and read the file. I
want each user to have their own config file, so that they can change their
own colors, printer settings, etc, without messing up all other users)
The odd part ... this *does* seem to work for a couple users. These working
users are ones who I configured by physically sitting at the console of the
server, and logging in as that user. I just verified that, by starting up
Remote Desktop on my PC; logging in as that user; and double-clicking that
icon. App started, and is using that config file.
I'm lost and confused. Why would it work for some but not all? Can't I pass
that environmental variable to a shortcut icon on the desktop? (it evaluates
to "C:\Documents and Settings\userid") How are others doing this sort of
personalized icon targets?
