samba - Nov 2004 - Slow update time for Desktop icons

I've got one user that I just put onto the new Samba 3.0.8 server.  He's
on
WinXP SP1.  He has a ton of icons and things on his desktop (39M worth of 
data according to his profile) but I'm not sure if that is a problem.  When 
he logs in, a few of his icons which point to network applications have only 
the default Windows shortcut image.  If he right-clicks the Desktop and 
clicks "Refresh" the pictures become what they are supposed to be.  I
do not
see this problem with other systems, but this is the only XP SP1 box I have.  
We can't upgrade him because we are waiting on some hardware compatibility 
issues to be resolved.

Is it just that he has too much on his desktop, or is there something I can do 
on either his side or the server side to fix this issue?  It seems somewhat 
similar to other refresh problems of the print queue and Explorer windows.

Thanks,
Misty

My boss was having the same "too much crap" problem and this helped a
lot.
