SYMPTOMS
Multiple Terminal Server Client program groups may appear on Windows NT- based Terminal Server client computers.



CAUSE
When Client Connection Manager is used to create new connections, the icons for the new connections are placed in the users' portion of the profile. The default name for the program group is Terminal Server Client.

When the Terminal Server Client is installed on a computer running Windows NT 4.0, the following program group is created: %systemroot%\Profiles\All Users\Start Menu\Programs \Terminal Server Client NOTE: The above path is one path; it has been wrapped for readability.

This is the only program group that exists until you use the Client Connection Manager to create new connections, at that time a new program group is created under the following location: %userprofile%\Start Menu\Programs\Terminal Server Client

This is the intended behavior of Terminal Server because by default, only Administrators have write permissions to %systemroot%\Profiles\All Users.



RESOLUTION
During creation of the new connection, you can change the program group name. Or, you can rename or delete the folder from the user portion at any time. No action is necessary.



STATUS
This behavior is by design.
