    Hi all,

    The shortcuts made to the cd and zip drives error when clicked on.

    "Problem with Shortcut" dialog box appears.

    The message in the box: The item "D:\" that this shortcut refers to has been changed or moved, so this shortcut will no longer work properly.

    Nearest match based on size, date, and type:
    C:\i386\sw log

    Then the fix it delete it or cancel buttons

    This appears with E cd-rom or F cd burner or with D zip drive
    Works with C:\ the HD

    This is on a system that just had XP renistalled - worked previously.

    Works on my system fine.

    Regards - Charles

    Could be related to a hotfix. See 824143

    Thanks Angel.

    "Could be related to a hotfix." What a suprise. :)

    Not sure what I'm going to do yet, whether to uninstall it or try the *fix* of the fix.

    Hi Angel,

    I uninstalled 821557. That does fix the shortcut problem.

    Regards - Charles
