This seems to be normal behaviour, I have this problem
with NT Server.

On machine-2, put in a username and password to connect
to machine-1 then get properties of the shortcut and delete
the \\machine-1\blah\ part of the shortcut.

I found this making profiles for the Lab, I did that then
took a copy of the profile which I just now copy for
everyone so I don't get a similar problem (but this also
means you have to make the profiles userable to Users Domain
Group which isn't up and running yet on Samba?)
