Hello,
Have XP Pro. For some reason or another, when I place a shortcut on the desktop, the following happens:
1. Shortcut appears on desktop, but no little arrow shown on the file folder.
2. All I see is a file folder, like it is almost an independent file folder on the desktop.
3. When I try to access the shortcut from an application like word with "File Open", I get an error that states: "The file you tried to open was not found. It may be missing, in a different location, locked by another application, or unavailable due to file permissions".
I have placed desktop shortcuts before which help me get to folders deep in other folders...but I cant figure out what is wrong.
Wondering if anybody could provide some suggestions?
Thank you!
Mike
