Our sharepoint admin has just started having an odd issue. When remoting to a Win 2003 server from his desktop, once logged on, none of the desktop icons or the taskbar will show up. He simply gets the windows blue background.

What's even weirder is he's the only one experiencing this. Other people can remote into the server fine. I googled the hell out of it and all that keeps turning up is RD icon missing results.

Explorer.exe isn't loading when he gets in, I have to have him send a ctrl+alt+del to the server and have him manually start explorer through task manager.

Anyone have any suggestions on what would be causing explorer to hang for this one user?

his profile... His profile might be corrupt, and forcing the server to create a new one, might fix it...

well.... lol, label his profile with a .old at the end, so if that doesn't fix it you have not lost anything.

That actually makes sense. They don't use roaming profiles or anything so maybe blowing out the local profile on the server might work.

Good thought. I'll let you know how it goes.
