Follow-up to yesterday's reply: I actually tried different settings with the Remote Desktop Connection on Wed, Jan 23, and was eventually able to successfully log on remotely by "saving" the login credentials directly within the RDP file as opposed to the default of being prompted for them after connecting.
Same thing when I double-click on the Control Panel icon on the desktop. Trying to open IE gives "Internet Explorer has stopped working". Try installing the program again using the original installation media or contact your system administrator or the software vendor for support.

I now strongly suspect that it's not a corrupt profile, since all three profiles exhibited the same issues, but rather, some sort of permissions setting on the server itself has some how been corrupted.
