HI,

I'm a bit confused and hoped someone could shed some light. I started here a
month ago and am still trying to figure out a few things with group policy
and profiles. The way that it's set up (Win2000 AD) is that when a user logs
in, they are presented with their desktop. On one of the servers, there is a
share called Desktops that has each Group in there with a folder and in the
folder are the icons that show up on their desktops. So if I have a user in
Sales, they are in the Sales OU, have the Sales group policy, and are a
member of the sales group. If I add a new shortcut into their desktop folder
on the share, it will show up on their desktop. My question is how is this
controlled? Where in Windows or the registry or group policy does it state
the Sales OU or GP's desktop should be pulled from
\\newserver4\desktop\sales? I see no scripts or anything like that.

Thanks!
Matt
