Volume Configuration doesn't work as exspected (OEMLayout, No xml entry found for icon, placing on desktop)

April 13, 2021 7:41 AM from

I am frustrated...

i purchased Fences yesterday to install it on a virtual machine.
This machine has a main user as a template for the default user account. This default user account will be applied to all new users.

I followed https://forums.stardock.com/502632/fences-volume-configuration guideline to generate a layout that gets applied to all new users.

I have 7 Fences and everyone of these is generated at the start with a new user.
BUT most of my desktop icons are not placed into the fence where they are attached to.
I have 15 different desktop icons and only 5 of them are stored correctly inside the fences.

All others are outside of these fences and i dont understand why. All users have the same desktop icons with the same pathes. There are no restrictions that could causing this issue.

I did a debug and can see for example my fence "system" is getting loaded like this:

00000028             140.20744324     [9116] ----------------

00000029             140.20745850     [9116] OEMLayout, Loading Fence-- NAME:System, ID:3, Folder:

00000032             140.20918274     [9116] ----------------

But i also recieve an Error like this:

00000055 140.24052429 [9116] OEMLayout, No xml entry found for icon, placing on desktop-- ICON:C:\Users\NewUser\Desktop\This PC.lnk, NAME:This PC, PATH:FAAfUOBP0CDqOmkQotgIACswMJ0AAA==, ARGS:

My layout file is including this icon like this:

<Fence>

      <ID>-1</ID>

      <Label>System</Label>

      <FillWithLeftoverIcons>false</FillWithLeftoverIcons>

      <FolderPath />

      <Dimensions>

        <Width>272</Width>

        <Height>77</Height>

</Dimensions>

      <Location>

        <X>5</X>

        <Y>44</Y>

</Location>

      <Shortcuts>

        <Shortcut>

          <OriginalTitle>This PC</OriginalTitle>

          <Path>FAAfUOBP0CDqOmkQotgIACswMJ0AAA==</Path>

          <Arguments />

          <GUID />

        </Shortcut>

        <Shortcut>

          <OriginalTitle>Recycle Bin</OriginalTitle>

          <Path>::{645FF040-5081-101B-9F08-00AA002F954E}</Path>

         <Arguments />

          <GUID />

        </Shortcut>

      </Shortcuts>

    </Fence>

My Recycle Bin is correctly stored inside the fence. "This PC" not....
What i am doing wrong here?

Best regards
