What's the workstation OS? Is this a desktop shortcut that's going all cattywampus?
I'm chasing down a problem that *might* be related: a Windows 7 Pro workstation has problems with desktop shortcuts that just turn to mush - sometimes links to non-existent registry entries, or broken links to existing exe's. Machine has layers upon layers of anti-malware (firewall, active scanner, MSE, etc.) so I don't *think* it's a malware more than a misfire. Here's a website (don't know of the accuracy) claiming it's a desktop maintenance task: http://www.ghacks.net/2010/03/30/fix-windows-7-desktop-shortcuts-disappearing/ On Thu, Jan 29, 2015 at 3:13 AM, Graham Brown <[email protected]> wrote: > > > Hi > > > > I have a Foxpro 6 app running on an SBS server from a mapped network > drive (O:) > > In the O: root I should have a gage_tup folder but if I right click > properties on this folder I actually see a shortcut instead with this > command line. > > > > C:\windows\system32\cmd.exe /C start cmd.exe /C if exist > "\\SBS\cbs\FDP5\CLIPART\cJVssV.AYl > <file:///\\SBS\cbs\FDP5\CLIPART\cJVssV.AYl> " start "" > "\\SBS\cbs\FDP5\CLIPART\cJVssV.AYl > <file:///\\SBS\cbs\FDP5\CLIPART\cJVssV.AYl> " && start "" > "\\SBS\cbs\GAGE_TUP <file:///\\SBS\cbs\GAGE_TUP> " > > > > All the folders have been replaced with the same weird shortcuts.
