Today's Windows Mystery involves all of the development shortcuts on our
desktop breaking.
All were pointed to "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual FoxPro\..."
that continued on and pointed to a specific config file we use to start the
app, and a start directory.
All the shortcuts changed to "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Foxpro\..."
without the "(X86)" in the path name. The files are installed and working
on the x86 path.
I have seen weirdness with shortcuts related to user profile
corruption. Very strange changes, such as, all of a sudden,
double-clicking any desktop shortcut won't work, but right-clicking
it and choosing "Open" will. And only in one user's profile; the
shortcuts continue to work in other profiles.
Deleting and re-creating user profiles is an annoying and tedious
activity, but shouldn't take terribly long if you have a
high-bandwidth connection to wherever you backup the user's data to.
Might be something to try.
Happy New Year!
