The information in this article applies to:

- Microsoft Windows NT Workstation versions 3.5, 3.51 
- Microsoft Windows NT Server versions 3.5, 3.51 
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------


SYMPTOMS
========

Local and domain users are supposed to be able to copy program icons from common
groups to their own personal groups (see, for instance, page 46 of the "System
Guide" for Windows NT Workstation 3.51). However, copying is not possible. When
a copy attempt is made, using either the CTRL+LEFT MOUSE BUTTON drag method or
by using the File menu, Copy option, the icon does not appear in the personal
group. Only Power Users or Administrators are able to successfully copy icons
from common to personal groups.

STATUS
======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Windows NT versions 3.5 and
3.51. This problem has been corrected in the latest U.S. Service Pack for
Windows NT version 3.51. For information on obtaining the Service Pack, query on
