Saving a document creates a shortcut
Why does microsoft create a shortcut everytime I save a change to an existing
document. When I search for a document ,I would like to see the document only. I don't want to see shortcuts for everytime I saved the document. |

Saving a document creates a shortcut
Is this a shortcut showing up on the desktop when that user saves a file?
If yes... Jim Rech posted this awhile ago: http://groups.google.co.uk/group/mic...bcb9e1d640d6b3 or http://snipurl.com/haco Jim's guess was that windows was confused about where the entry in the windows registry for Recent (Recently used files) was pointing at the desktop. 9.0 represents the version of excel. 9.0 xl2k 10.0 xl2002 11.0 xl2003 ManhattanRebel wrote: Why does microsoft create a shortcut everytime I save a change to an existing document.

Saving a document creates a shortcut
What search are you using?
From within the File|Open dialog or windows search? Are these shortcuts that you've created or that are automatically created when you open a windows file that supports Most Recently Used. I'm not sure that I can help -- I haven't been bothered by these enough to look for a different way of searching. But maybe someone else can chime in with the added information. === After my searches are finished (windows start button searches), I'll look at the results in the Detail view and sort by the size of the file. If I'm looking for ..xls files, I know I can ignore the files with sizes of 1k. ManhattanRebel wrote: It shows up when I use the search feature to find a document..

Saving a document creates a shortcut
The creation of *.LNK shortcuts has nothing to do with Excel or Office.
It is a Windows feature. Go be mad in another news group. Asked here......answered here. BTW..............I hope you have another email account. The one you posted is going to be pretty well used now that the spam-bots have got it. Need Viagra?
