Build Identifier: Eclipse 3.4.2

On Windows 7, Non-admin user with folder redirection, the intro images do not load. This is using the default browser (internet Explorer 8)

Folder Redirection is a global windows policy. 
Case 1: Log in with non local admin and with folder redirection enabled: Failed (Issue: see screen shot)
Case 2: Login with local admin and with folder redirection enabled: IDE launches without issues
Case 3: Login with Non local Admin and folder redirection disable: IDE launches without issues

Using Eclipse 3.4.2 with the following patches
  org.eclipse.cdt.core.parser.upc.feature.R342patch version 1.0.2 
  com.ibm.org.eclipse.cdt.xlc.feature.R342patch.R342patch version 1.0.2 
  org.eclipse.cdt.platform.R342patch version1.0.14 
  org.eclipse.cdt.core.lrparser.feature.R342patch version 1.0.3 


Reproducible: Couldn't Reproduce

Steps to Reproduce:
1. From Windows 7, non-admin user using folder redirection
2. Launch Eclipse IDE (Intro should load by default, if not, load the intro from help menu->Welcome
3. Select the "overview" icon (and look at the transition page) See Image

Screen Capture if the Broken images

I am unable to reproduce this issue. There are a couple of possible work arounds: 

a) Turn off Folder Redirection
b) Grant the user admin rights
c) (possibly) run Eclipse in Windows XP compatibility mode

Can you post a screen show of how it is supposed to look?

This bug hasn't had any activity in quite some time. Maybe the problem got resolved, was a duplicate of something else, or became less pressing for some reason - or maybe it's still relevant but just hasn't been looked at yet.

If you have further information on the current state of the bug, please add it. The information can be, for example, that the problem still occurs, that you still want the feature, that more information is needed, or that the bug is (for whatever reason) no longer relevant.
