I have 2 machines here, both with Windows 7 Professional 64-bit and both with Office 2007. One is an OEM 2007 Professional, the other is Action Pack Enterprise.
Both are installed in the same directory.
When I log onto one machine and set up icons on the task bar, it works fine.
If I then log off and log onto the other PC, all of the icons disappear and the entries in the Windows Menu (recently used bit) are all invalid. I have to then go into the All Programs menu and search them all out again, which works, until I log off and use the other machine again...
All other applications, which are installed on both machines, have no problems at all. It is just MS Office...
Anybody got any ideas?

Is one of the profiles dodgy?
Sorry you didn't say if it was local logons or networked.

Roaming profiles.
I've deleted the profile on the server several times and on the laptop.
I did used to get regular "profile couldn't be fully loaded" errors, but that was down to iTunes files not wanting to sync with the server.

Well if you have the profiles sorted and the combo working on 1 machine ( as it does on mine I hasten to add ) I'm struggling to think what it could be. Is there anything different installed on one and not the other?

They are identical, apart from one being Pro and one Enterprise...

GPO's setting the start menu to a shared start menu (that doesn't include Office)?

I'll double check, although I don't think it is the case...
Bit it made me think to check and see if the shortcuts are stored in different folders on the two machines.

De-installed, CCleaner and re-installed the same version on both machines and now it is working fine!
Looks like some setting or other entry is not the same, when you have different versions of office installed on different machines...
