John, I will take your response with great consideration. I appreciate your response.
But I would still like to know why it is that the Quick Launch bar will prompt you to open a default standard shortcut such as the IE or Windows Media Icon. Also, now that I have installed MS Office, I get the same prompt now that the Outlook shortcut was added. What can I do to prevent this from happening when using a roaming profile?

We experminted with redirecting it here so the quicklaunch would "follow" users around, but ran into many problems with it. Lots of slowness in office as it wanted to write temp files up to the server, etc. You can exclude directories from roaming with a GPO, and this is one i would strongly suggest you consider.

Roaming profiles seem to be working great except that when you click on the Windows Media Player or Internet Explorer icon, you get a prompt asking if you want to open this file. This is similar to trying to download an executable via a web site when you get a warning about its potential contents. What can I do to get rid of this? Thank you in advance for your replies.
