Are you on a network?

Are you the Administrator?

Maybe you have a corrupted User Account.

I am on a network and I am the
"administrator."

(I have installed the old computer to this
new one to allow transfer files at will.)

Some of the shortcuts do work and some don't
and this problem happened all at once about a
week ago.

I have the latest OS including MediaCentre
and this includes SP2.

Everybody has permission to access
everything.

Some newly created shortcuts don't work
either.

Regards,Frank

Sounds like a Windows problem.
