xDUCKx, I appreciate the comment about finding out why it logs a temp profile, and to start another thread. &nbsp;Frankly I'd like to resolve this so that whatever the circumstance, the user has this shortcut on the desktop.<br />
Geisud, your answer was more complete with additional info. &nbsp;It did leave me wondering about GPO.<br />

Regards and thanks!
