favourite links not creating shortcuts!
I managed to delete my Links folder in my user profile. After some googling I recreated it by typing "shell:links" in the run command. But now when I drag a file into the Favorite Links area of the Navigation pane, it's copying the files instead of creating a shortcut! I can force it to create a shortcut by holding down the Alt key - but this is painful. Is there anyway to get it back to how it used to be?

It needs its desktop.ini file. Copy the following (between the lines) into
notepad: ------------------------------------------- [.ShellClassInfo] LocalizedResourceName=@%SystemRoot%\system32\shell 32.dll,-21810 IconResource=%SystemRoot%\system32\imageres.dll,-185 DefaultDropEffect=4 [LocalizedFileNames] ,-21816 ,-9031 Recently ,-32813 ,-21790 ,-21779 ,-21770 ---------------------------------------------- and save in the 'Links' folder as 'desktop.ini' Press & hold the shift key and right-click in the folder background & select 'Open Command Window Here'. Then execute the following: attrib +h +s desktop.ini cd .. attrib +r links Setting the read-only attribute for the folder tells Explorer to process the desktop.ini file. -- Good Luck, Keith Microsoft MVP [Windows Shell/User] wrote in message ...
