SYMPTOMS
Users with roaming profiles who change their Windows 2000 desktop icons by clicking Change Icon on the Effects tab in Display properties receive default desktop icons when they log on to the domain with a Microsoft Windows NT 4.0 client.



STATUS
This behavior is by design.



MORE INFORMATION
On the Effects tab in Display properties, you can change the default desktop icons for My Computer, My Documents, and so on. When a user with a roaming profile changes one or more of these icons on a Windows 2000-based computer and then later logs on to the domain using a Windows NT 4.0-based computer, the user may see different icons from those that are displayed by a Windows 2000-based computer.
