Shortcuts to non-physical locations fail
Posted: 2003 Dec 13, 10:27
This is probably a well documented bug, but i's been irritating me alot lately, and I thought i'd just come in here and make sure.
Shortcuts to areas on your computer without a "X:\" at the beginning always fail with 3 "Debug Assertion Failed" error boxes. These locations include My Computer, Recycle Bin, Network Places, Network Settings and the like. Probably the most annoying example of this is when you click or right click on a lan connection icon. You get 3 of those error boxes, and get thrown to your last successful location.
This problem is furthur compounded by the fact that I don't use explorer.exe, and don't use the windows desktop/start menu to open xplorer2 windows, which I assume, work just fine. To access my computer, recycle bin and stuff easily, I need to use a standard windows shortcut, which unfortunately, always fails this way.
