Hi,
The target appears to be incorrect for the shortcut. Right click it and
choose properties. In the target box, make sure the full path appears (ie:
"C:\Users\Mr. Lingo\Audio\Audio Books" and not just "C:\Mr.
Lingo\Audio\Audio Books") and that it is enclosed in quotes.
Is the number you are seeing for the control panel this one?
