As part of our standard build we change the registry to save IE
Favorites to the users personal drive, in our case "H:\.":
; These set each users' default save locations, H:\Favorites and H:\My
Documents.
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer
\User Shell Folders]
"Favorites"=hex(2):48,00,3a,00,5c,00,46,00,61,00,76,00,6f,
00,72,00,69,00,74,00,\
65,00,73,00,00,00
"Personal"=hex(2):48,00,3a,00,5c,00,4d,00,79,00,20,00,44,00,6f,
00,63,00,75,00,\
6d,00,65,00,6e,00,74,00,73,00,00,00
Although it hasn't happened in a while, today users began getting
error messages when they tried to save a new Favorite. The error
message states something about "a process is in use." Also, it saves
two (2) non-functioning entries in the Favorites folder.
We've recieved some calls today and can reproduce the glitch on our
end. I just cannot imagine what has changed to cause the problem.
All other network drive activety is correct and the registry settings
on effected machines looks correct.
Any ideas on where to start troubleshooting? We are a Novell shop if
that might ring a bell or two.
Thanks,
Johnsji
