windows cannot find recycier/system.exe, trying to access mapped drive on network

We have numerous drives on the network i can access this drive which is drive n:\ however this user cant.
I have re-imaged unmapped and re-mapped however still cant access.
The drive is setup so this user can access it straight away through group policy.

Please see the print screen which occurs when she tries to access her n:\ drive.

I can access it so can 20 other people.

the recicier/system.exe seems to point towards a malware infection. there are several known malwares that cause this.

as you've stated that you've re-imaged and the problem persists, i would start by scanning the network share in question (from a clean machine), and also the image itself. also, check for any USB flash disks connected to the computer in question, as some of the known baddies that do this like to propogate on flash disks.

Image is perfect as i have used the same image on 3 other P.C's that day after this image and they do not have this problem. We sit behind hardware firewalls and corporate end point secuirty and also have end point protection on all servers. problem is still there. Virus scanners etc come up with nothing
