OS is Win2k.

"Problem with shortcut" shows on the pop-up. The
message:

"The drive or network connection that the shortcut
NF Timer.lnk refers to is unavailable.......
Make sure that the disk is properly inserted....."

Does anyone know what this refers to? It started
in my computer about 2 weeks ago.

TIA

Happend to me yesterday, a root virus had
wiped out Firefox, and the shortcut started complaining.
Then the virusscanner wiped out the OS, which failed to
boot normally and in safe mode.

That's probably a question better asked in either of the two following
newsgroups:

microsoft.public.win2000
microsoft.public.win2000.general

The newsgroups you've cross-posted your question into are (respectively)
for the discussion of freeware and hardware, not problems with Windows
2000. You'll be far more likely to get a quicker and better answer in
the appropriate newsgroups.
