There is nothing in the event logs, that's what got me to thinking that
it might have been something to do with terminal server
compatability.....
The other thing I can do is rebuild their TS profiles and see what
happens. It could be that they have old TS profiles and there is
something screwy in there.

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,

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.

Heya,
At the moment, we have a couple of users who are accessing their
favourites in a TS session, with Terminal Server Compatability, this
should therefore be resolving to their <homedrive>\windows\favorites
For some reason though, for a couple of users TS Compatability is
resolving to <homedrive>\<username>\windows\favorites.
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.
Berny
