Group Policy Preferences Shortcut Issue

<p>I have created a User&nbsp;GPP shortcut policy for a URL that deletes the old shortcut from four different locations (CommonDesktop, DesktopDir, and two shared drive locations hence using a User policy)&nbsp;and places a new shortcut&nbsp;and URL on CommonDesktop.</p><p>I had only done some initial testing but it appeared to work deleting from all or any of the four locations and placing my new file as I expected admittedly without the icon file working but working otherwise.&nbsp;</p><p>But having tried again today weirdly&nbsp;it isn't working as expected and won't delete the original icon from %DesktopDir%.&nbsp; Would anyone&nbsp;have any suggestions as&nbsp;to why this now wouldn't delete?&nbsp; It isn't deleting on the account I was originally testing with, nor other test accounts.&nbsp; So I don't know if I am missing something fundamental in what I have created</p><p>Also if anyone can advise how I get my custom icon to work also that&nbsp;would be appreciated.&nbsp; I select the ICON file I want&nbsp;but either get an unrecognised icon or standard&nbsp;IE icon.&nbsp; Do I have to use an Icon Index number?&nbsp; Or have it stored on the PC's themselves?&nbsp;</p>
