Problem Creating Shortcut to Folder "PT" <xyz[ at ]xyz.com> 6/30/2007 12:18:09 AM I've had desktop shortcuts to frequently used folders since the day the Earth cooled. Today, none of them work - that is, clicking on the shortcuts produces a long pause, then nothing. I even recreated several with the same result. Shortcuts to websites work normally I can't for the life of me think of what I could have done to cause this. -- PT
