Windows 7 and maybe Vista have an issue with network shortcuts, which point to some \\SHARE. Shortcuts randomly may disappear.
The process which is guilty is Windows SYSTEM MAINTENANCE, which allows only 4 broken shortcuts on desktop. Must admit, weird MS design, and by my opinion totally unnecessary automatic process (Microsoft, don't mess with my desktop, please!)
To workaround, turn off Automatic System Maintenance:
- Click Start button then click Control Panel.
- Under System and Security, click Find and fix problems.
- On the left navigation pane, click Change settings.
- Set Computer Maintenance to Off. |
