I Found something very odd today - A user called unable to find the shortcut to their department folder to save a file from Word 2007 I am using Windows 7 x64 on my workstation and remoted into the users - They had Word 2007 open to the 'Save As" and viewing the Desktop - I minimized all windows and sure enough on the desktop was the Shortcut to the shared folder - Path to the shared location was \\sumserver\sumlocation$ I went ahead and deleted the shortcut from my desktop I did a 'Run' \\compname\c$\Doc&Settings\AllUsers\Desktop\ and created a new short cut - Again the shortcut was not viewable from the Save As dialoge in Word 2007 - I dug around for a long while and compared the shortcut to one that was viewable and the only difference I could find was the size - the one created with windows 7 was about 1.5 KB and the others were .5KB a third of the size. I remoted into a windows XP box ran the same location \\compname\c$\Doc&Settings\AllUsers\Desktop\ created a shortcut and bam the shortcut showed up in the save as dialogue box of word 2007 -- again the only difference was the size of the shortcut I checked all users securities on the shortcuts and all NTFS permissions they all matched. So from this i conclude that there is bug in the right click - new shortcut building process for windows 7(Enterprise) x64 edition. If anyone else has any ideas or steps to check the differences let me know! Thanks, TravisStudent

Anyone have any ideas on this? If not anyone know the place to report bugs?Student

Just to clarify - This is Creating a shortcut on an XP computer from a windows 7 computer by the UNC path IE - from windows 7 ; start -run \\xpmachine\c$\docs&settings\allusers\desktop - right click - new shortcut - location \\sumdrive\sumshare$ Then actually log into the XP machine and do a save as from notepad and look at the desktop for save locations and the shortcut will not show up. Doing the same create shortcut process from a windows XP machine the shortcut will show up.Student
