The shortcut is at the same location
Out of curiosity, is your user folder on the ASUS really called "User" or are you replacing the actual folder name with User to hide it in this post? If it's not really User, is the folder name EXACTLY the same on the Acer, or are they different?

Yes - on both machines, the folder is called "User". It's because that's what it was traditionally called in early Windows versions, and I have never changed it.
