Access shortcust not working after updates

[dave]

Hi,
After windows update installed IE7 our shortcuts to Access databases quit
working. We need to open access the browse to the db file and open it. Why
did shortcuts quit working?
Thanks

If the shortcut points to a share on a server, you might need to adjust the
IE7 security settings. These are the settings that worked for a similar
setup at a client.

Open the IE settings from Tools, Internet Options. On the Security tab
select Local Internet and click Sites. Clear the checkbox for "Automatically
detect intranet" and check the other 3 boxes. Click the Advanced button on
that same dialog box and add file://ServerName to the list of trusted sites.
Clear the checkbox to "Require server verification (https) for all sites in
this zone".
