Desktop linked to network folder 1

[cstew72]

I've somehow managed to connect my desktop icons with a natwork folder. I've removed myself from the test OU I was playing with working with roaming profile, GPO and scripts. I've destroyed all of the above. Now if I set a desktop shortcut it ends up as a shortcut to the network folder, which I've deleted only to have it recreate itself. Anything I put in that folder shows up on my desk top. What have I done and how can I get it back to normal?

(Somehow erased all existing files in network folder when they suddenly appeared on desktop. )

Thanks for any help!

I am not sure I understand the predicament, but any new user will draw from the Default User profile its information when the first logon occurs.

Perhaps replacing the Default User profile will resolve the issue:

I was experimenting with login scripts through a GP in AD ander a TEST OU. Login to net use h:\server\folder\user. I logged in after lunch and all of my info from the network folder was on my desktop in what I thought was shortcuts. Erased them all and erased network folder at same time. Now, I've backed myself out of all OU, scripts, etc. and if I set IE to shortcut to desktop, the shortcut links to said folder and appears in that folder. Everytime I save anything to that folder an icon appears on my desktop.
How is it still linked? Are there reg settings to change?

Thanks!

This fix mentioned here concerns duplicate desktop icons so it may not be relevant to your situation but I'd thought I'd post it anyway.

Are you sure it is not this?
