    Desktop only recognizing C: drive???

    Is there a way for the desktop to recognize all of the local hard drives on my machine? For instance if I have a desktop icon that used to connect to a program on the C: drive and I move that program to the D: drive, can you still have the desktop check there for the program? I assume there has to be a way to change the default for that. Anyway if anyone has any ideas I'd love to hear them. Thanks

    You can right click the shortcut, pick Properties, then on the shortcut tab change the reference from C: to D: in the appropriate places.

    I guess what I was hoping for was a way to change a setting somewhere that would change the default setting for the desktop to search both drives. Is that possible?

    I thought it was actually built into Windows 2000 already - called Distrubuted Link Checking or something like that?
