Ah-ha - see first sentence; last paragraph in here ==>> Distributed Link Tracking and Object Identifiers

I'm not a 100% sure, but I don't think DLT has ever worked if .LNK target folder/file was on a portable device.

NTFS,,yes,
Moved via drag/drop cut/paste in Wdws Explorer.

"Links to files on removable media are not maintained"...got it...so now it's down to storing in a Calibre library on a portable or links that might move although not regularly..Right now, I'm thinking I'll just put links in my library and go from there.

I REALLY appreciate your input!
