Hi Berny, I guess the first comment which is fairly obvious is that TS and normal workstation logins can have totally different profiles, home drives etc for the same user. So it could just be screwed up TS profile settings. However in your case it sounds more like the users are having some profile load/unlaod issues because a reference to %systemroot% favorites should only be seen if you're operating with the system default user profile. I'd be tempted to have a look at the event log for login errors, and to check out the user profile type (local roaming temporary) as well. It's fairly unlikely that that you'll be seeing this stuff in a "standard" roaming profile. regards, Rick Ulrich Mack Volante Systems Level 2, 30 Little Cribb Street Coronation Drive Office Park Milton Qld 4064 tel: +61 7 32431847 fax: +61 7 32431992 rick.mack@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx ________________________________ From: thin-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx on behalf of Berny Stapleton Sent: Wed 18/01/2006 1:05 To: thin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [THIN] Re: Redirected user folders Umm, I can't find a thing on the 'net about this. I have been hunting around, but maybe you can shed some light on it... I thought it was terminal server compatability, as previously I have had issues over slow links regarding access to win.ini and system.ini references in user's profile paths. These references when looking in filemon were referring to %systemroot%\win.ini etc then referring to %homedrive%\windows\win.ini In my instance, I am seeing references to %systemroot%\favorites and then got a reference to %systemroot%\windows\favorites. My only problem is I can't find a reference to terminal server compatability for this folder. I would have thought that favorites would have been part of the user profile, so it should have been looking in %USERPROFILE%\favorites but it's not looking there at all, there has to be something redirecting it to %HOMEDRIVE%. I just can't see what it is... There is nothing in the registry for User Shell Folders that would indicate to me what it would be. Can anyone tell me why it might be looking there? As stated in the previous email, I don't have a GPO in place at the moment. Or login script is 8 lines mapping drives and that's it.

Any ideas? I have worked around the issue by changing HKCU\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders\Favorites. I was thinking of a GPO to fix it, but in all honesty, I would prefer to leave the GPO out of it, and fix Terminal Server Compatability.
