Shortcuts fail silently ... another "gift" from Internet Explorer 7

I've seen several problems cropping up on computers with Internet
Explorer 7. The oddest so far: Shortcuts to .mdb files fail silently
when another user on the network has the file open.

The more typical manifestation of the problem: You try to open a
Microsoft Access file that resides on a different computer, and are
told:

'Microsoft Access cannot open this file.

This file is located outside your intranet or on an untrusted
site.
Microsoft Access will not open the file due to potential
security
problems."
The fix in both instances:

In Internet Explorer, choose Tools Internet Options.
Then click the "Security" tab. Select the "Local intranet" zone.
Click the "Sites" button. Clear the checkbox for
"Automatically detect intranet network".

It was serendipity that helped me troubleshoot this problem, making me
a minor-league hero to two clients one morning. Hopefully this
posting will help bestow hero status on some of you other designers
out there!
