Hey Robert, In the article you posted, the registry key is incorrect in the KB content. It lists the registry key as: HKCU\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Directory
However, the correct registry key is: HKCU\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Directory UI I've sent a comment to my former employer to ask for them to fix the article...next time, test it *before* you post!

By default, if the group has over 500 members in it, the user icons inside the group will turn grey. Check out this article for more information: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/q281923/ Let us know if that turned out to be the cause. Have a great day!
