Here's a good one.
I'm connecting to a client's terminal services machine via RDP and there's a shortcut on the desktop to run vRunFox.EXE on a mapped drive. When I click on the link, a "Do" dialog shows up and "No items match your search" until I change the dropdown from "Program (*.fxp)" to "Visual FoxPro Application (*.app, *.exe)" and click the EXE. Then it runs fine.
Server: Windows Standard 2008 without Hyper-V
U: drive is a share mapped from another machine.
Shortcut is set to U:\CmdWindow\vRunFox.EXE
Runtime is: Visual FoxPro 07.00.0000.9465 EXE Support Library for Windows
Copying the folder to the local machine and clicking directly on the EXE starts the program as expected, without the dialog.
Dragging the EXE to the local drive and creating a new shortcut shows the same behavior.
Any idea if this is fixable?

Ted,
Is the Shortcut set to Start In the same place the vRunFox is? If there is a Config.FPW in that folder, it might be causing problems.

Good thought!
But no, no Config.FPW.
