Network Desktop Shortcuts Disappear in Windows 7
On Windows 7 Professional - typically in a domain environment - desktop shortcuts that you create pointing at network locations or mapped drives occassionally vanish never to be heard of again. This is due to the location of the shortcuts being unavailable or broken during the System Maintenance Troubleshooter performing it's maintenance tasks. The System Maintenace Troubleshooter will either fix problems it detects or report them using the Action Center. When it comes accross 3 or more 'broken' shortcuts it automatically deletes all shortcuts without warning. The shortcuts may be valid and for whatever reasons if at that point in time the network location is unreachable (such is the case from time to time) it will class these shortcuts as broken and delete them

1. Disable the System Maintenance Troubleshooter. Note that disabling the System Maintenance Troubleshooter will also disable all the other routine maintenance procedures that are carried out such as fixing disk volume errors, removing logs/reports that are older than a month and fixing broken shortcuts. To Disable the System Maintenace Troubleshooter you must be logged in as an Administrator. First Left Click the Start Button
Left Click Control Panel.
Under System and Security, click Find and fix problems.
On the left navigation pane, click Change settings.
Then Select Computer Maintenance to Off.
Click OK and close the open window.

2. Place the links in a folder somewhere else and create a link to that folder to the desktop.

3. Keep the number of broken shortcuts on your desktop to 4 or less - that way they will not be deleted.
