WHS Windows Explorer strangeness

[KevinG]

I'm seeing some very strange behavior in Windows Explorer while browsing the WHS shares, and I was wondering if anyone had any clues...I'm not even sure how I might search for this on google, so here goes...

If I double click on "Shared Folders on Server", then double click on "Public", then Right click and choose "New Folder" nothing happens...but, in fact, it really did...

If I hit F5 the new folder is there.

Then, I select it, hit F2, rename it to "Foobar", hit enter, and it reverts back to "New Folder". Hit F5, and it's called "Foobar".

Hit Shift Delete to delete it, answer "Yes", and it's still there....hit F5 and it's gone. (See the pattern? )

Anyway, this *only* happens to shares on the WHS...If I browse to a share on one of my other machines, it works perfectly...

Thoughts? Ideas? This is driving me nuts!

Thanks.

Well, that was quick, but I solved it...

Somehow, the shortcut on my desktop (on BOTH of my clients) to "Shared Folders on Server" had the "Target Location" as "unknown" instead of "Workgroup".

I recreated the shortcut from scratch, and all is fine.

ah, thanks for that. I was having odd issues too. Seems like the shortcuts created on install are not properly made.
