Windows 7 Favorite Folders Messed Up in Programs

[ClickRight]

Hi All,

I have a client with a Windows 7 Machine. She has two drives an SSD (C and a hard drive for her data (E. I have made shortcuts under "Favorites" in explorer to go to her most popular folders on her E: drive.

In explorer, these work no problem.

In another program (Word, Excel, Simply Accounting, etc.) When you click on these folders it does not work. It is trying to access the same folders, but on the C: drive, where they don't exist.

Edit:

Browsing works normally in notepad to those folders but not other programs. This is SOOO weird!

Edit 2:

I got it working -- but I don't know WHY

Here's what I did:

Instead of adding the folder to favorites from Explorer, I went to the programs where it wasn't working and make added it there. Not it works from the programs as well is from explorer. CRAZY!

You might check the links are correct in the user folder. Under users, look for the folder "links."
All explorer favorites should be there. You can also right click the favorites heading and restore links.

Yes they were there AND showed the correct path. I don't understand how adding the same thing from anther program fixed it

I believe Office uses it's own dialogs for file open, rather than the standard Windows dialogs.
