Shortcuts (etc.) keep switching to a network location
I notice that the icon pictures of some of my desktop shortcuts keep disappearing, changing to the default. When I look at the shortcut properties, I see that it has changed from something like this (correct)
X:\X-Plane\CustomData\...
to this (wrong):
\\Martin-fspc\x\X-Plane\CustomData\...
Seems to happen all by itself. If it is my doing, then maybe someone could say what it might be, as I do not access these shortcuts via a network, though I do have other PCs on my home network.
Today noticed that some functions in that X-Plane installation had stopped working. The XP11 log text, sure enough, showed this:
Loaded: //Martin-fspc/x/X-Plane/...
So plugins within X-Plane also suddenly think that the programme is on a network drive! Why would this be, all of a sudden (it pointed to the correct local drive yesterday)? I rebooted and restarted X-Plane and this time the log showed:
Loaded: X:/X-Plane/...
which is as it should be.
Any suggestions as how I can stop this happening would be appreciated! I tried making the desktop icons read-only (not sure if that worked), but I am more concerned about programmes suddenly thinking they're on a network drive and so stuff stops working!
Thanks,
Martin
