Guest Lisa Delafield Posted October 31, 2008 Posted October 31, 2008 After running current Windows updates I have a problem with mapped drives. When you launch My Computer and click on a mapped drive it launches Notepad. If you use Windows Explorer you can click on the mapped drive and it works fine.

What extension does the mapped link create? You may just have to reassociate it with explorer.exe. - Thee Chicago Wolf
