Shortcuts being made in other locations

[Debra]

I have a user who maps her A: drive to a storage area. She does her
developement there. All her other drives are mapped to network drives on our
Netwares servers.
If she opens a .doc from any drive, local or network, a shortcut of the .doc
along with the folder it is in is made on the A: drive storage area. Ex. if
she opens a .doc from her local C:, a shortcut to the file and the containing
folder are created on the A: drive. This happens with .doc, mdb and sometimes
xls files. Does anyone know what could be causing this?

Thanks,
Debra

I don't know what's happening, but she should not be using A: in this way.
Even though modern machines don't usually have floppy drives I think A: (and
B:, and probably C:, come to that) is treated specially and is not, or
should not be, available for general use.

Remap the storage area to Z drive (presuming it is free).
