I've had desktop shortcuts to frequently used folders since the day the
Earth cooled.

Today, none of them work - that is, clicking on the shortcuts produces a
long pause, then nothing. I even recreated several with the same result.

Shortcuts to websites work normally

I can't for the life of me think of what I could have done to cause this.
