I have generated a config.xml and turned off the:

<component displayname="Taskbar and Start Menu" migrate="no" 
ID="appearance_and_display\taskbar_and_start_menu">

Inside the xml file as I noticed this was happening way back with USMT4. I was 
getting all the Windows XP start menu shortcuts and folders on my completed 
Windows 7 upgrades. Very annoying!

Also make sure you are using the \targetwindows7 switch in your USMT command 
line otherwise wallpaper and a few other things will not be migrated properly.

I have a step in my TS under CM 2012 SP1 which sets additional migration 
commands including this one for my Windows XP - Windows 7 migrations.

Subject: [mssms] USMT - Orphaned shortcuts

Hey everyone,

I've been working on refreshing a lot of our machines from XP to W7. I have a 
couple thousand teacher machines that I am using hardlinking on to preserve 
their data. Everything is working great except I am apparently migrating 
dead/orphaned desktop shortcuts and start menu objects.

It was my understanding that loadstate would not migrate a shortcut if the 
target file didn't exist on the system. Not sure how I managed to break that....

Am I missing something or is this normal behavior that I need to clean up?

I'm on SCCM 2012 SP1 using USMT 5.0

Thanks,

Dewayne
