please, tell us what did you insert in the "open" textbox that appears when you right-click the shortcut and then click "Create shortcut..." (i think you manually wrote "C:\"...if so, you can't do it, you must address to a file, not to a folder)

Yes I am trying to make it as the explorer opening the folder. As in the documnetation its mentioned that we can link it to the file, folder, website.

So how do i link to the folder.

:-k I don't know, personally, i've never do it: i've just done some tests and noticed that if i point to a folder, your error is the output...i wonder if someone has a solution
EDIT: after a simple search, i found this... :shock:

I don't know it for sure but I have a faint guess it may be a Windows user permissons issue. Check the permissions of the user account you are running NAV with.

If it would be Vista I'd also suspect UAC but apparently it's XP.
