I'm not sure exactly what you're asking. Are you saying that you don't know which shortcut the error is referring to (since it's happening during logon)? Or are you saying that there is a shortcut somewhere that you can't launch?

noticed when logging in as another user B on the same pc does not have this error seen. The same rights and permissions for user A and B is the same. pc checked with no virus/spyware, checking the registry does not have anything abnormal. For user A, already has the full rights to the file. launching it from the shortcut, startup or navigate to the exact file location will see this error.
besides recreating the profile to confirm, any other options to check ?
