We use roaming profiles in XP. When I'm logged on at one
computer I have no problems but when I'm logged on on my
computer suddenly (mabye since SP2) when I try to access
my shortcuts I get this message: "The target "" of this
internet shortcut is not valid. Go to the Internet
Shortcut property sheet and make sure the target is
correct". I can't find any info anywhere on how I go to
the Internet Shortcut property sheet. Can anyone help?
or maybe tell me how I can fix this? I tried copying my
cookies from the computer that did work to mine, but no
luck.
thanx
 
Are all computers you mention running XP SP2?

If the computer with the problem has SP2 but the
computer / computers without the problem do not have SP2,
you know what to do.
