Missing icon for shortcut to UNC target
I have read a couple of bug reports about missing icons, but none appears to be exactly the same problem. When I create shortcuts to UNC paths, the icon does not appear in XYplorer, though it does in Windows Explorer. This happens on 27.20.0000 (32 bit) and 28.00.0007 (64 bit). The correct icon is shown in the properties window and the "Change icon" window. The icon file itself is in a local directory. Strangely, if I change the target from \\GMNAS\Data to \\GMNAS/Data, the icon appears and XYplorer follows the shortcut; Windows Explorer shows the icon, but will not follow the shortcut.

Strange indeed, but I cannot reproduce it. Did you try a Windows reboot?

Re: Missing icon for shortcut to UNC target
Ugh. My fault--sorry. I had setting "Use generic icons for super-fast browsing" selected.
