Redirection problem strange local drive - white icons

Someone has seen this before and no one knows the cause/solution?

What is happening on our test/development configuration and our production environment (vWorkspace 7.1).

When a user connects to a Windows 7 VDI session local endpoints devices are directed through, as shown here:

But... when the same user connects to a Win2008 R2 RDS session, the redirected folders are missing and you get white icons that are inactive.

The user is using folder redirection to move its profile folders (AppData, etc.) on a network share...

Endpoints tested 2 with are Windows 7.

Any ideas why this might be happening?

See you soon,.

Dan.

Possibly a registry hive capturing the issue (or lack thereof).

On the test in question account, there is no record capturing the policies put in place for the user. I set it up to capture booty HKCU\Software\Microsoft and HKCU\Control Panel.

The client drives appear now.

I will tune the registry capturing next week.

Odd. Don't know if it's an underlying problem of the RDP/RDS but at least theres an autour work.

I'm going to blame another admin here for now!

Dan.

  • White white icons on the desktop, bar of tasks & files

    So as the title says, most of my shortcut icons is turned to 'record' white icons by default. This happened after a certain program called Registry Booster crashed Mid-process. Uniblue support recommended to restore the backup of the registry of the RB itself or a system restore. I tried both and it does not solve the issue. (OS: Windows 7 Ultimate)

    Since then, I scoured the web for a solution and have tried the fixes suggested elsewhere. Among those who are the parameters manually, shortened reconstruction iconcache.db and using an integrated Windows spell bug (the name escapes me now), nothing is. I also tried an installation (well, 'upgrade' as they say now) repair of the BONE, which did nothing.

    To be more specific about the problem, all shortcuts pointing to files of application or files turn to 'white sheets', as seen here: http://img839.imageshack.us/img839/4510/screenztx.png trash icon is normal for any reason whatsoever, and all shortcuts pointing to a file (for example, .pdf or .mp3) also look good. To be clear, all of the shortcuts function , it's just the appearance which is buggy.

    It seems that the fault must lie somewhere in the registry, but I'm not familiar enough with it to know where exactly. So if someone could suggest one alternative other than wiping the drive clean (I don't have a handy external HD, so I'm not looking forward to burning 20 DVDs for all of my files...), it would be greatly appreciated :)

    Reconstruction IconCache.db worked for me, if I stop the first Explorer (it did not for me if I don't): http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/windows/en-US/d5efec0c-e967-4127-b217-15da34d7fb00/icon-problem-in-windows-7?forum=w7itproui

    Here are the steps that I followed this post:

    Open an Admin high cmd prompt and paste these 4 lines in one at a time:

    • Taskkill /IM explorer.exe/f
    • CD /d %userprofile%\AppData\Local
    • DEL /a IconCache.db

  • Windows 8 - icons of the CS6 Office showing as white icons with the green arrow

    After I loaded standard CS6 64-bit on my DELL XPS 8, the Office file windows icons appear as an icon of white box with a green arrow instead of icons Adobe. All other icons appear correctly. I have Illustrator CS5 on my hard drive and before I loaded CS6 CS5 icons displayed correctly. Thank you in advance for helping me with this problem.

    Hi Adam,.

    I figured this out. I opened the default programs - Illustrator was missing a file type to associate with the program (why it showed the white icon with green bar). I assigned to the Illustrator file with the program Illustrator type. Turn it back on. Solved the problem... Yes!

  • I linked one chose "remove from toolbar" on the new "drive mode" icon and it removed my entire address bar and I can not find the place where to pick up

    With the latest update of firefox (38.0.5) I take away the new features that I would never use the button 'save for later '. Then the notification popped up in the navigation bar for the new feature 'in player mode', which is another thing that I'll never use. I right click it and chose "remove from toolbar". This action removed my address bar. My navigation bar is still there, but the address bar to enter a URL has disappeared. It's just my research and my download bar and buttons of AdBlock. Usually, I have my bar address/URL/navigation to the left of the search bar with the navigation arrows. When I go to customize I can't find the address bar. I have a particular look, I prefer and would not have to go through the restoration of values by default if I have to. Maybe I'm just missing something stupid obvious and I just need someone to point out. Thank you!

    I found this link

    https://support.Mozilla.org/en-us/KB/reset-preferences-fix-problems

    And was able to "Refresh" my firefox. Now the long process of return to my silent settings I prefer. Really disappointed with firefox for the first time. Not the solution I was hoping.

    Details on how to remove the 'drive mode' icon of a book of the URL bar it would be appreciated.

  • How to do a HTM page on my local drive?

    I have HTML static pages on my hard drive that contain my stories I regularly update and publish a story accommodation site via FTP.

  • Satellite U400-112: impossible to format the local drive (damaged MFT?)

    Hello!

    I had a pretty serious problem with my HARD drive.
    250 GB HARD drive
    C: 116 GB - NTFS - Windows XP (Vista initially)
    D: 1, 5 GB - NTFS - (Vista Recover?..)
    E: 117 GB - RAW (was NTFS prior to crash)

    Local drive E: MFT have been damaged because of the virus attack (I hope not because of my madness!). It's NTFS, now it's RAW. I got all the necessary data partition with program ZAR, but all my attempts to recover or just the format E: remained unsuccessful.
    None of the defective sectors found on the HARD drive. Standard Windows tool to format the disks fails: 'it's impossible to finish the formatting of E:

    Before this problem with the E: drive, I had several problems with HARD drive. I have never divided re discs, to Partition Magic from the beginning he identified incorrectly. I tried Partition Magic 7 and 8.
    Link: [error screensaver | http://cs1498.vkontakte.ru/u169802/154397/x_3a82b4fb.jpg]

    The problem is that the special programs (I tried "find and Mount") also could not identify partitions to correct the defective MFT. I thought that low-level format can help me, but I heard, that the use of all applications for other producers can probably destroy my HARD drive. Are there only special applications of Toshiba developed for such cases? Or you can advice me something else?

    Thanks for your help!

    P.S. These applications did not help me:
    Find and Mount (can't find the HARD drive)
    Acronis Recovery Expert (does not find the HARD drive)
    OnTrack EasyRecovery Professional (does not resolve the error, but help to recovery data)
    HDD Regenerator

    Thus you get back all your important data?

    I would like to just launch Recovery to restore the HARD drive to its factory condition. If the recovery fails, you can try to delete the partitions with FDISK from a startup MS-DOS disk. Free bootdisks can be found at www.bootdisk.com

    FDISK can also repair a Master Boot Record by running this command: FDISK/MBR
    But it is not 100% reliable, it could cause more harm than good.

Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the use of third-party software can be solved. Software using third party is at your own risk.

    I recently had my Presario replaced SR5550F HD (old one crashed).  I am running VISTA.

    Hello djangobill,

    Welcome to the HP Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience! To help you get the most out of the Forums of HP, I would like to draw your attention to the Guide of the Forums HP first time here? Learn how to publish and more.

    I understand that you are having problems with your computer does not connect a network drive that have not mapped you. Accually according to what you said in your post you have mapped when you set your wallpaper to an image on the usb drive. The system created an internal mapping that image and when he starts the load operating system before your USB hard drive is added and it loses the connection to cause you all this grief. You have two options, as I see it.

    You can move the image from the external drive on your local disk and reset it as your wallpaper. As the operating system would break the link with the old image it is more to keep the internal mapping and your problem should be solved.

    Your other option is to go into your BIOS and enable Legacy devices, it would load your USB to first image mapped to be accessible when the operating system is going to get him.

    I hope I have shed light on the question for you. Thanks for posting on the HP Forums. Have a great day!
