Fix the error :
Error 1606. Could not access network location ???? Anythings
Error 1606 might occur if one of the systems predefined locations points to a remote computer or network location that is not connected. This behavior can be caused by an incorrect setting in a registry entry.
So Windows registry modification is required. These modifications, if not done correctly, can cause serious problems to a Windows system. The articles on how to do that correctly are contained in Microsoft's Knowledge Base.
- Click Start, and then click Run. The Run dialog box opens.
- In the Open field, type regedit, and then click OK. The Registry Editor opens.
- In the Registry Editor, locate the following registry key:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Shell Folders
- In the right pane, note the values in the Data column of each entry. If any value contains a drive that is not correct for your computer, right-click the entry and select Modify.
- Type the correct drive letter in the Value data field, and click OK. For example, if one of the values is "X:\Documents and Settings\Administrator", the drive letter should be changed to a valid drive on the system, such as “C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator".
- Repeat steps 4 and 5 for each entry whose Data value contains an incorrect drive.
- Repeat steps 3 through 6 for each of the following registry keys:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Shell Folders
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders
