[THIN] Re: PNAgent passthru weirdness

The desktop Access icon is likely defective.  Microsoft uses the "shell extensions" to enable the special functionality of some Icons like the office and IE icons.  If you right click on a special icon, you do not see the path to the executable, only a reference.  The easy fix is to delete the special icon and create a normal icon pointing to the maccess.exe file in your office install.  Alternatively, you can repair or reinstall office or perform a registry hack to repair faulty icon.

mps 4.5, W2K3R2 w/SP2, pnagent 10.2 - all was well until I had to reinstall mps after a datastore migration didn't go so well.
 
About 30 published apps
 - all launch okay from the WI including from within a published desktop
 - all launch okay from the PNAgent icon in the system tray from a published desktop (passthru)
 - all launch okay from the desktop icon on a published desktop, *except* for ms access; it just refuses to launch from the start menu or desktop icon but it'll launch from the PNAgent icon and from WI.
 
I've no idea where to begin looking - did the obvious - reboot, reload the ica client, republish the app; still no dice.
