Description

The issue is that the registry is being checked prior to the environment variables. This wouldn’t usually be a problem except that when using windows mandatory profiles the user shell folders are not modified at logon, only the environment variables which windows uses.

Research direction

No file, test, or entry point is named. Start by locating the shell-folder resolution path and trace whether the registry or environment variables are consulted first; done means environment variables take precedence for Windows mandatory profiles.
