Hi Tony,
I had the same problem.
Let's blame M$ shall we?
Ik here is the deal.
The briefcase folder MUST be a read-only folder!
Try It, create a new briefcase and everything is fine, now remove the read-only
attribute and it appears as a normal folder again. I think this is just one of
the many stupid M$ tricks again.
Here is how I solved the prob..
The problems is roaming profile, we just cannot the this one these kind of
folders.
Create a briefcae folder in a directory that will not be roamed (ex
c:\my_stuff\briefcase)
Now on you desktop create a shortcut to that folder, that's it.
The does not work on all situations so I think you have to play around abit
O one other thing check the other file attributes as well.
I did manage to get it working but I stoped using it because people in my
department didn't understand the consept of it.
