Documents Folder and Link Redirecting

I moved my documents folder from c:\users\bob\documents to
\\NAS\Data\bob\bob. I also moved my other directories from c: such as
\\NAS\Data\bob\Links. If I try to create a link or shortcut to this
directory, it always puts me into my music directory \\NAS\media\music. I
don't understand why the link changes after I save it to go to the music
directory.

I want to create a Favorite Link called Bobs Documents and point it to
\\NAS\Data\bob\bob. Whenever I do this, it redirects me to \\NAS\media\music.

Thoughts?
 
The links seems to work for directories other than \\NAS\Data\bob\bob. No
matter what directory I try to create the link, they all save correctly.
Once executed, the location changes to \\NAS\media\music.

Thoughts?
 
I finally got this to work. Looks like a bug to me. If I create a shortcut
in the links directory and then use it for the first time by right mouse
clicking and selecting Open Folder Location, it no longer reassigns the
shortcut to the music directory. After that, I can double click it and it
seems to work.

Originally I double clicked the shortcut and it reassigned it to the Music
link.

Good job on sticking with this and finding the solution. Thank you for
