Shortcuts on share point to clients (W95)

[jdharm]

I have a couple of Win95 labs and a NT4.0 server\domain. I use custom menus for the users and have them in the network NETLOGON share. Here is a scenario that will explain the problem:

I sit down at machine <font color=red>HS93101</font color=red> and create a shortcut and point it to "C:\windows\explorer.exe" and place it in the \\hs_labserver931\netlogon\931\Desktop. Then I log off and move to machine <font color=red>HS93105</font color=red>. I now have the Explorer icon on my desktop, but when I view the properties I find the shortcut points to \\HS93101\c$\windows\explorer.exe

I have found that I can create the shortcuts on my Win2K machine and they are all good and generic (pointing to local C:\) on any Win95 machine. But after using one of the icons the first time the shortcut thereafter points to the c$ share of the first machine I use the shortcut on.

How do I make the generic local target stick?

Hey JD,

This is for NT. There's some switches that probably can be used for 9x. Hopefully the reg tweak is for 9x too.

Finally got around to trying it. Looks like it didn't work on my Win95 machines. The NT machines have never had the problem. Thanks anyway.

No problem.

Darn. I was hoping it would work for 95.
