We have the following live setup:
- Windows Server 2012 R2 Essentials
- Windows 8.1 Pro client computers
- Each user can, and does, login to multiple client computers
Windows Server 2012 R2 Essentials was set up using the wizards in the dashboards, and the clients were joined using http://servername/connect.
The user logins have the following problem after a few days of logging in and out of the various client computers. On their desktop they see multiple "Shared Folders" shortcuts: "Shared Folders", "Shared Folders2" and "Shared Folders3" etc.
Some of these shortcuts have folder icons, others appear as white icons (where the users have, naturally, tried to delete the extra copies of the icon).
The users are confused, and that is generally undermining the success of migrating people to windows 8.1 on this new network setup, and keeping them happy.
What is causing these duplicate copies of "Shared Folders" on the desktop, and how do we fix it?
