    Shortcut on desktop for a network mapped drive doesnt work

    Hi, first I mapped a network drive to x: and then I create a shortcut of it
    on my desktop but it doesnt work.

    The system shows error "crsv.exe - Application Error. - The application
    failed to initialize properly (0xc0000033). Click OK to terminate the
    application"

    Hey, i've got a similar problem here: i mapped an external drive in a NTFS
    folder c:\someName and if i put a shortcut to that location, the shortcut is
    created but nothing happen on double click. I doesnt even have the choice
    "open" on a right click on it, the first choice is "Restore previous version".

    I have Windows Vista Ultimate edition.
