Using XP-Pro....We have multiple user's wanting to make a
shortcut Icon on their desktop to their A-drive. Works
for short while - but if they click on the icon and do
not have a disc in - it changes to c:\i386 and makes this
the new default.

Try drag and drop the A drive icon from My Computer window to the desktop

Instead of asking for a disk - it defaults back to the
default load direatory.... Have contacted the manufacture
(Acer) and they point the finger at MS....
