Does anyone else have the problem of users complaining of not being able to
click on their .hod shortcuts being corrupted?
we have folder redirection on for home directories (and desktop).
we sometimes find the .hod files are either empty or corrupted.
We tried to set the files to Read-only, but other problems (sorry, can't
remember) prevented that option.
This happens about once or twice a week across our enterprise (about 100
users).

we just restore the "previous version" and all is well, but would like to
prevent this from happening again if possible.
