How did you create the shortcut?  If I go to the Windows Explorer
and find the folder I want on the desktop, I right click on it and
use either Send To->Desktop or Create Shortcut and move it to the
Desktop.  I seem to be able to navigate into that directory and load
data.  Are you using a different method?
