Shortcut on desktop points to wrong location when deleting

Hi!

I'm experiencing some wierd behavior when trying to delete files located on %public%\Desktop.

Chrome is installed during SCCM task sequence.
If I try to delete the shortcut i get this error: "Could not find this item" "This file is no longer located in <userprofile\Desktop>"

It's looking for the file in %userprofile%\Desktop even though the shortcut points to %public%\Desktop

Anyone seen this issue before?

Hi,

I have a working system and have a program shortcut on the user's desktop, as you konw, the shortcut is shown up on the user's desktop while its location points public\desktop. I can successfully delete the shortcut from the desktop without browsing to public\Desktop.

 How did you deploy the shortcuts? Maybe we can refer to this link,

We can also deploy the shortcuts via GPP, please see this blog

While for issues happened in SCCM, it's recommended to post in

SCCM forum
