URL shortcuts not working - Missing "web document" tab

Half of my favorites links have become unusable. I get "The target "" of this Internet Shortcut is not valid. Go to the internet shortcut property sheet and make sure the target is correct"  

We are using redirected folders and this happens on all computers. This also happens if I browse to the favorites folder and try to open the link. I found that this issue happened to Vista from the link below and tried that method but it did not work. This only happens to this user.


3. In the left pane of this location, right click on the FeatureControl key and create its subkey named FEATURE_URLFILE_CACHEFLUSH_KB936881 by navigating New -> Key.

Now highlight the new subkey so created, and head on toright pane of the registry location HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main\FeatureControl\FEATURE_URLFILE_CACHEFLUSH_KB936881, create a new DWORD value using Right click -> New -> DWORD Value.

Name this new DWORD as iexplore.exe. Double click on this newly created to modify its Value data:

That did not work.
I had to remove permissions from the folder and re-add it.
