Instead of the specific icons, non descript place holders. Path to both programs is incorrect (wrong drive letter)cyanna

Huh? sorry, what thread?Anyhow, narrowed the problem down somewhat: only happens when Windows setup is interrupted at the OOBE phase in order to skip creating a user account and log in as built-in administrator instead. In this case the Administrator account will be called Administrator_ploc and the shortcuts get mixed up.I've since moved to 1. create a user, 2. enable Administrator account, 3. delete first user........ cyanna
