1. A computer-implemented method for filtering shortcuts from user profiles, at least a portion of the method being performed by a computing device comprising at least one processor, the method comprising:

  • identifying a first user logged onto a first computing system;

    identifying a profile of the first user that stores data associated with the first user, wherein the profile comprises one or more shortcuts that target one or more computing resources;

    searching the first user'"'"'s profile for the one or more shortcuts;

    for each computing resource targeted by the one or more shortcuts in the first user'"'"'s profile, searching the first computing system for the computing resource;

    determining, based on a result of the search of the first computing system, that at least one computing resource targeted by a shortcut in the first user'"'"'s profile is not available on the first computing system;

    configuring a graphical user interface associated with the first computing system to present a user interface that is consistent with available resources of the first computing system by filtering the shortcut that targets the unavailable computing resource, wherein the filtering comprises preventing the shortcut from being displayed to the first user in the graphical user interface when other items associated with the first user'"'"'s profile are displayed in the graphical user interface.
