Brad, I would ask your administrators there if they have made a change to your group policy that governs the domain that your computer runs on. I had a similar situation come up at a job site recently. It could very well be that they've made some policy changes that cause the shortcuts to not work properly.

Subject: Re: jaws.exe disappears? Update to my own posting: I came into work this morning, turned on my computer, and heard the usual, "JAWS for Windows. Press Control Alt Delete to Log On" (we're on a domain here.) Clearly JAWS was still on my machine at that point. I logged in fine, but when my desktop came up, there was no JAWS. Ran the JAWS shortcut, and got this same message that the item the shortcut refers to has been changed or moved. So again, JFW.EXE just disappeared. Ran System Restore, got the same error that Restore failed and no changes were made, but JAWS was back. Am I the only one having this problem? JFW 15 with latest update, Windows 7 Pro 64-bit.
