The technicians in my school have setup a link on the start menu to
point to a directory on the server, the directory is called
'shared'. I frequently get the message:

"The item 'S:\' that this shortcut refers to has been changed or
moved, to this shortcut will no longer work properly."

S: doesn't appear in my computer, but if I go to word or whatever I
can type S: in to the open dialogue and get access to S:. When I click
on the shortcut it just keeps giving me this message.
Help
