Im having this irritating problem. on my desktop is a shortcut to the shared network folder that is used by a few users. This shared folder is stored in the Server.
Everyday i will encounter problem of unable to connect to the folder, 1 minute Im able to access the next minute I can't. Error says something like " I do not have permission to access the folder" Im the only one who has this problem whereas the other users has no problem.

please advise, thanks and regards,

Is the shortcut pointing to a FOLDER or an actual FILE?

If it's a FILE, then try adding that UNC location to your TRUSTED SITES in Internet Explorer. Weird I know but it does work. If it's to a drive (like Z:\drive) then add Z:\ to your Trusted Sites in IE

If it's to a folder and you say somethings it works and sometimes it doesn't, try this registry setting on your WORKSTATION first and if it doens't work, try it on the SERVER as well. I've done this for two different client sites of mine and it has fixed the problem. Though I was geting a message that says "insufficient system resources" but it had a similar characteristic like yours where it will work one day but later on the day, the user can't access the network share/drive.

You can always remove it if it doesn't work.
