If I create a desktop shortcut to, say, "C:\Users\Paul\Dropbox\Work stuff\", then it stays like that, and it works the way I want: I click on it, and it QUICKLY opens the local folder (which is actually one of my dropbox sub folders)
If instead, I create a link to "C:\Users\Paul\Dropbox\" then initially it works fine, and as above it QUICKLY opens up the dropbox root folder.
However, after a while (I'm thinking it may include a logout / login, so dropbox gets started up again) it changes that link to be {"C:\Program Files (x86)\Dropbox\Client\Dropbox.exe" /home}.... which is very SLOW to open!
I did NOT ask it to make that change!
Any ideas what's happening?
