Target.lnk error - Windows XP

[Eric]

Anyone seeing this? I'm trying to browse the network while doing a
'save as' in a program. I'm using a Windows XP computer (fully
updated). The rest of the network is Windows 2000 (fully updated).
When I click on My Network Places it shows the same folders as it does
in c:\documents and settings\Username\nethood. When I click on
'Entire network' I can browse through no problem. When I click on a
direct network folder link I sometimes get an error saying:

"The drive or network connection that the shortcut target.lnk refers
to is unavailable. Make sure the disk is properly inserted or the
network resource is available". I press "OK" and the folder contents
are displayed properly. I went to the Nethood directory and deleted
all of the folder links and recreated them, but it still does it.

Like I said, there is no error if I browse to the network directory
using "Computers near me" (which I added), or browsing through "Entire
Network", or even if I browse through "My Network Places" from the
desktop and use the same folder shortcut. It only seems to happen
when I am trying to "save/open/save as" in a program and then try to
access the same networked folder shortcut.

Thanks

Eric

Yes, I have it, and to this point have no fix.
