Folder thinks it's a shortcut

In case you missed it, please take a look at my earlier post entitled,

"Problem Opening Folder - No Luck Yet". I responded in a thread from

yesterday. Several good suggestions have been made, but so far, no

solution, and I only have the computer for the day.

My daughter just confessed to messing around with the computer when the

problem started, but she cannot remember what she did, of course. Any

help provided is sincerely appreciated!!
