unable to type "d:\some_directory" in the RUN... box

[3legs]

Dear all,

Things are getting weird in my Windows 2000 AS box. I can type
"c:\some_directory" in the START->RUN... box to open up a new window for
that folder, but I couldn't type "d:\another_directory" in the same RUN...
box or it prompted me that such file did not exist (but it was there!), I
was sure that not typo was made.

On the same machine I also used the "find..." box and trying to find a file
in that "d:\another_directory", it said that 0 such file were found, however
if I typed "D:\" many of those specified files were found in the
"d:\another_directory" !!

God save me!

Why may I ask are you doing this?
Backup your work and make an ERD, if you are going to play with
unknown areas.

Hi Don,

It's just as normal as clicking it on the File Explorer, I usually open with
Win+RUN and type in the desire directory name. I see nothing that special.
But just recently after a reboot this doesn't seem to work...
