Shared folders on server replaced by shortcuts
seen windows explorer in windows 7, folders on ripnas have been replaced shortcuts, whether seen libraries, computer or network.
if attempt open folder libraries, security warning - "do want open file?" , if try open it, windows can't find it.
if try open folder in mapped drive in computer, same warning, time can open folder, , folders within it, , files themselves, though folder symbols still replaced shortcuts , security warning @ each stage.
if open music folder in ripnas under network, still see bunch of shortcuts , once again, windows can't find when attempt open folder.
i've tried system restore - no luck. , accessing ripnas second desktop running windows 7 on network gives same results above.
work? well, else. kinsky desktop works fine , plays music. dbpoweramp cd ripper rips new folder on ripnas, correctly displayed in windows 7 , can opened without problems via routes.
ideas?
i haven't used windows home server , not able comment on it.
however, looking @ problem description, appears that, system infected 'shortcut virus' not sure though. make sure update antivirus on server in question , scan machine using anti malware software such malwarebytes anti malware, free version capable of removing malicious codes.
if using external disks connected server , files infected, can try following
