Title: Search path error
Post by: alterego on February 20, 2018, 06:44:54 AM

Good morning everyone.

I am trying to figure out how to resolve this message that pops up every time I start AutoCAD.   
This message dialog box now takes the whole of my screen with lots of shortcuts.  What causes this and does anyone know how to resolve it?

Thanks in advance.

Thank you, I will have a look into this. Mine is the only one in the company doing this and they all point to the same folder. Even so I hope this will resolve the issue.

Same folder, but is it the same drive mapping?

I assume so. IT man here sets all the computers up the same. I don't mess with his settings.

Can you access the mapped drive [S:] or files location from your computer, using a file explorer?

Just erase the .lnk file and the problem is solved :-)

Do you mean the shortcut from the network?
