Excel component in ASP page creates shortcuts on root of C drive

M

Marc C.

I have created a COM+ object that calls workbooks.open("filename"). The
filename is e:\inetpub\wwwroot\aap\temp.xls This COM+ object is called from
an IIS 5.0 ASP page. The ASP page uploads a Excel spreedsheet and then uses
the above COM+ Excel object to convert the excel spreedsheet to a text file
and stores it in e:\inetpub\wwwroot\aap\ This all works correctly on my
Windows 2000 Advanced Server with IIS 5.0 installed. The problem that I am
having is that after the excel spreadsheet gets uploaded and
workbooks.open("filename") is called on it, a shorcut to the file
e:\inetpub\wwwroot\aap\temp.xls is created on root of the C: drive. Also a
shortcut to the directory e:\inetpub\wwwroot\aap is created on the C: drive
at the root of the filesystem. When using a debuger the shortcuts are creted
when I call workbooks.open("filename").Why are these shortcuts created and
how do I
get the program not to create them. These shortcuts were not created with
the same IIS ASP page and excel COM componet on NT4.0. Thanks
