I'm trying to create an AllUsers Desktop shortcut on a Windows Server 2008 box. I'm logged in as an Administrator and I've even tried running Explorer with the Run as Administrator option. When I navigate to the c:\programdata folder, which according to this posting is the location of the new AllUsers profile I can access it fine. However, certain sub folders including Desktop display a lock icon and when i attempt to paste a shortcut to the folder, or even just double click it i get an access denied message.
