Maybe you don't understand what im tryin to say. I have a
shortcut on my desktop to a drive on a server and when i
try to save to that drive it creates a shortcut of the
file im trying to save. But when you run a search that
file is located on the C: and not the network drive. This
has happened using the drop down menu in say excel, word,
etc...
