shortcuts on all clients desktops are pointed suddenly to the full server path instead of mapped drive.
Hi, We have a Windows server 2008 enviorment with only XP clients. On the server we have a disk E:\network which is shared and mapped as drive letter G. Users have make shortcuts to documents (G:\\folder1\file1.doc) this has worked for months, but suddenly all users experience problems opening these shortcuts. After investigation alle shortcuts are changed in (E:\network\folder1\file1.doc) anyone has the same problem? thanks, Arjan

Hi Arjan, I have not encountered this type of issue. However, I would suggest you create the shortcut as \\server\folder1\file1.doc format. It should prevent the shortcuts path changing in the future. Regards, Wilson Jia On July 1st we will be making Windows Server 2008 R2 General forum read only. After receiving a lot of feedback from the community, it was decided that this forum is a duplication and therefore redundant of the General Forum. So, until July 1st, we will start asking customers to redirect their questions to the General Forum. On June 11th, CSS engineers will move any new threads to the General Forum. Please post a reply to the announcement thread if you have any feedback on this decision or the process.
