Description John Jullion-ceccarelli 2004-08-16 14:26:24 UTC
This is a weird bug that will probably be
impossible to reproduce, but...

Every time I open up a filechooser in the IDE, I
get a dialog box that says "Windows is searching
for netbeans.exe..." followed by a dialog box that
says "The drive or network connection that the
shortcut "NetBeans IDE 4.0Dev.lnk" refers to is
unavailable..." This happens every time I switch
directories in the filechooser. What's worse, it
happens in all java programs - older versions of
the IDE, JavaHelp standalone tools, etc. 

I've done a clean user dir and a clean install and
the problem won't go away.

I believe this bug will be closed soon as INVALID.  Something is very
wrong on your machine. But I assign this to Radek who is our expert on
this kind of problem.  Radku, it's worthwhile to go see John's machine
to see what's wrong there
