I dragged Projects from the Taskbar to the Desktop.
It Looks like a clone of my Projects folder.
If I change a file name in the dragged "Folder" the name changes in the real
Projects folder.
So, they are not shortcuts but rather another view of the real folder's
files.
I don't know what will happed if I delete tit!! Don't want to try.
Can you shed any light on what is going on?
Thanks
