Hony,

I believe you can only 'Browse' for specific files, not folders. In fact
after choosing 'Browse' it asks you to select a 'file' name. Just make a new
shortcut to the folder again.

If a folder shortcut no longer points to the underlying folder, the Browse
dialog that comes on does not work. After you browse to the proper folder
and
click on it (or press the Open button), the folder opens, rather than
associating itself to the Shortcut icon. Evidently, the Browse feature is
designed to work only when a shortcut points to an individual file, not a
folder. Or am I doing it wrong?

Thanks.
