Shortcut treated as normal files in Save function...

Hi

I've just installed Windows XP Pro (from scratch) and has the most recent
updates.

When I try to save a file from any program, and I want to go directly to the
saving folder using one of my folder shortcuts (shortcuts poiting to
folders) the program asks me if I want to replace the exisiting file! It
seems like Windows XP is treating the shortcuts as normal data files, not as
shortcuts!

A friend of mine tried the same, works fine for him.

Anyone?

If you right click the 'shortcut' and choose properties, does the properties
box show a shortcut tab?
