File share shortcut in a constant loop.
Hello
I have a problem with a file share. Someone at my company created a shortcut on a fileshare server that goes on in a constant loop.
\\servername\foldername\fo ldername\f oldername and so on and so on.
that shortcut has no security tab and i cannot delete it.
Error deleting file or folder - cannot delete foldername: The network location cannot be reached.
has anyone got an idea whats going on here ? and how to get rid of that shortcut.
it gives users problems when searching on the fileshare for it finds the same document over and over again.
