We have seen a few cases where users have icons on their desktop that they believe are shortcuts to network drives, when in fact they’re not shortcuts at all – they are completely separate folders sitting on their desktop. This can be incredibly bad if you are part of a group of people editing documents in a particular network folder. Your edits will be completely separate from the network folder. Only you will be able to see those edits, and in the worst cases, there will be two different working copies of the same document.
Please ensure that the icons on your desktop are shortcuts and not separate folders. You can tell just by looking at them:
Shortcuts have the little arrow in the lower-left corner of the icon, as in the icon above on the left. The icon on the right is for an actual folder sitting on the desktop…notice no arrow.
