This one’s driving me crazy guys. Clients = XP SP2 Servers= MS Server 2000 & 2003 Active Directory environment All users have roaming profiles. Through Active Directory and Group Policy the users have their desktops redirected to a remote server location. The problem I have is that when users delete a file (icon) from their desktop, it appears to have been delete however when they log of and their profile is written back to the server, the deleted file is recreated in the profiles and therefore reappears once the user logs back on. Through group policy, I have enabled “delete cached copy of users profiles” and I though this may have something to do with the problem so I set the policy to “not configured”. This however did not solve the problem so I have enabled the policy again. Any help would be great, I’m sure its something simple that I’m missing, Thanks in advance Andy

K, this is gettng wierd. I deleted the users roaming profile, made sure the local profile had been removed by group policy and then logged the user back on. It recreated the roaming profile on the server, however it somhow managed to pull the icons deleted previously through to the new roaming profile. Before you ask the icons are not in the all users profile or the default users profile. My heads messed with this one, could it have something to do with poicies, cached files, hidden folders etc??? Thanks guys Andy

k, i think the problem has something to do with the fact i'm using a Default User profile in the NetLogon partition. It looks like users are writing data back to the Net Logon folder so i'm gonna have to have a look at the permissions. Does anyone have any advice on configuring the net logon default profile?
