You're welcome. I just tried it in 5728. It worked fine and with this
build let me auto logon to the standard user account. Now I'll test it to
see if it needs the administrator account displayed as it did in 5600.

control userpasswords2 from an elevated command prompt, uncheck users must
enter username/password.

Works fine in 5728

Doing this will disable folders that are there and from
being added to "Favortie Links" in Windows Explorer.

The tweak is the same as in XP.

1. Start regedit.
2. Navigate to HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\lnkfile (that's a lower case L)
3. Delete the "IsShortcut" registry value.

Logoff and... Enjoy!

Thanks. I didn't feel like looking it up. Though I leave the shortcut
arrow, it's a good reminder.
