[dba-Tech] Disappearing shortcuts

Dear List:
 
I keep each of my clients' work in a separate folder.  On my main box and on
a backup box.  So I fond it convenient to keep shortcuts on my desktop to
the active clients on my backup box.  When I finished working on their db I
just drag and drop onto their shortcut. 
 
However, when I reboot, the shortcuts disappear.  Very annoying.
 
When I try to access the backup box after rebooting the main box, I have to
enter user name and password.  Could that be why they're disappearing?
 
Any fix for this?
