How Do I Stop XP Converting Folder Shortcuts (Mapped) to UNC Paths

[Dameon2004]

If I Have a Shortcut to a Server / Folder in XP Mode the Shortcut to the Resource Becomes a UNC Path Rather than Drive Letter.

If I work in Classic Mode it Does Not Do This?

Can this be done without Using Classic Mode?

Thanks In Advance

Sorry Dude,

This is Not the Problem.

The Problem is We are Moving to XP Pro on the desktop, We have a Redirected Start Menu (Via a Registry Key That Points off to the Users J: Drive.)

In Classic Mode the J Drive Mapping Stays RELATIVE, In Native Mode it Converts the J Drive to the UNC Path.
