The Mystery of Re-appearing Icons!

Posted: 01-21-2009, 09:30 AM
Hi all:
I have several (but not all) users (WinXP and Vista) on a SBS2003 system.
When they delete icons and shortcuts from their desktop they seem to
disappear fine. But at the next logon hey presto! - the deleted icons are
back! Why should this happen, and why does it only happen to SOME network
users and not all?
Can anyone please help - it is happening to me too!
Thanks

Sounds like a roaming profile issue.
