    I have vista home premium on my desktop and have files set up for sharing with my laptop which is xp sp3.  Everything has been working fine.  Normally if I want to access a shared file  using the laptop I go to network and see a folder identifying the desktop pc.  I open it and there are the files I want to get at.  The other day I had to do a system restore on the desktop back to a point a month ago.  Everything went fine and restore was successful.  However, now when I go to the laptop and try to access shared files that are on the desktop, when I open the first folder that identifies the desktop, I find another folder (which is identified as a shortcut) labled with the name Target.  If I click on it then I get to the files I am after.  I can't figure out where this Target shortcut came from that now takes me to the shared files.  Has anyone any idea what might be happening? Thanks.
