Thanks for your reply.
Have you taken a look at the video I posted ? You can clearly see that the path is dynamic, as it changes automatically when i move the folder around or rename it. How can this be explained then? I read the sticky btw but I still believe that the files I have behave in a way that cannot ben explained by this thread...
