Any change I can get some help here!



Patience, please. This is a peer support newsgroup. We are all just
Windows XP users here, helping each other if and when we can. We are
not Microsoft employees (not even those of us with "Microsoft MVP"
behind our names; that's an honorary title for having provided
consistently helpful advice) except for an occasional employee who
posts here unofficially on his own time.

If you don't get an answer, it can be for a variety of reasons: you
may have asked your question poorly and nobody understood, nobody may
know the answer, the person who knows the answer may have missed your
question, and so on.

Or the person who knows the answer (not me, in this case) hasn't seen
your message yet.

Have workstation with XP SP2 installed. When a non-admin users power's up
the machine from cold-start and attempts to login, the file share is not
accessible - getting "\\FileServ\Users\<username>\<folder> is not accessible.
You may not have permission to use this network resource. Access is denied.
Network path was not found."

Basically, person has permission on the \\FileServ\ server.

From the \\FileServ\Users\<username>\PCDesktop - there is a subfolder that
is used to populate the desktop icons for user. It's way we handle this for
agency and has no issue for over 200 users. I can login this person on
another workstation without issue, i.e., from Cold-Start the boot sequence is
proper and the desktop is populated from \\FileServ\...\PCDesktop.

But for this workstation, during the COLD-START cycle of power / this path is
not accessible during the startup process / not sure why. But AFTER the
login, if I Right Click and REFRESH my desktop - it's available than.

Again, getting the error message in earlier post [when recycle power].
ALSO, this only occurs for non-admin users. What should I look for with
this workstation - to see why it doesn't complete Cold+Boot login process
here / but on another identical workstation it does. Are there registry keys
I can check - is there a reinstall of network resource required etc... [I'm
not showing ANY network issues for Admin though - and if I Cold+Boot for
Admin, than logoff, login - not issue] - just when I Cold+Boot for
<non-admin> user on this machine it gives the message above.

Help - ASAP please
