    i am the administator, owner, etc. i have full control of the domain and every workstation in it, all my users are in the local administrators group i have "run as administrator". the two icons are exactly the same. That is why this is such a bugger to me.

    Is your UAC controls disabled?  Windows Start menu > search bar, type in UAC and tap the enter key.  Set it to "Never Notify" and try the copied desktop icon.

     

    Hope This Helps,

    that would olny be an issue if the user logged on was not administrator. if the user is administrator they don't get that error message you are thinking of.

    Not entirely.  The UAC controls, when on, reduce a full administrator's priviledges.  Have you tried my suggestion?

    I went to the UAC controls and everything was already set to never notify.

    Would you paste the text of your desktop icon > Properties > Target here?  Both original and copy.

    Thanks,
