Then copy and paste the shortcut to the Vista machine. See if that works. You might have to take ownership of the shortcut when you get it to the Vista machine, but hopefully the copy/paste will do that for you. One note: make sure you can run the program from Vista by dbl-clicking on the program in the shared folder first. If you can't do that, we have to fix something different. |
