If I setup a shortcut: example.lnk
and set the path to an executable to launch as:
\\server1\myshare\runme.exe
XYplorer will follow the path and open the folder \\server1\myshare\ unless I right click the shortcut and select 'open' to launch the application
If I setup a shortcut: exampl2.lnk
and this time map the \\server1\myshare folder as z:\
and set the path to launch the same executable as in the first example as:
z:\runme.exe
XYplorer will launch the application.
Shortcut does not behave consistent depending on path syntax

2) Your Windows Version (e.g., Win 11)
3) Your Screen Scaling Percentage (e.g., 125%).
We strongly recommend adding your Windows Version and Screen Scaling Percentage to the Location field in your Profile or to your Signature. That way, you only have to type them once, and we won't have to search for that vital information.

Re: Shortcut does not behave consistent depending on path sy
Yes, there is an inconsistency. The reason is: to check the existance/availability of network file can take very long if it is inaccessible. So I opted to just browse to the location which is faster in most cases.
I'll rethink this...
Update: I fixed it.

I didn't know there was a reason behind it. Hopefully it doesn't cause any problems because it isn't a huge deal.
