Your payroll software was installed on a server and you need to create a shortcut on you workstation. 

A network map drive needs to be setup to ensure the payroll software shortcut can be created and the software be accessed.

The database and system features requires a drive letter to be allocated to a shared network location on the local computer, for all the features to work as intended.

NOTE: When you are sharing a network location, the server location must be shared from the server (Properties > Sharing), and the users who need access to the shared folder must be added to Group or user names, and have "full control" permissions on the folder (Properties > Security).

From the workstation:

• Click in the Search bar on your desktop Taskbar and type in This PC

• The "This PC" App will appear
• Select Map network drive

• Select a letter you want for the drive:

• Copy the shared network address into the folder box (or browse to it over the network):

• Click Finish to save the new mapping
• The new mapped drive will appear under Network on File Explorer
• Set the new mapped drive as a Trusted Site - How do I set a mapped drive as a trusted site in a network environment?
• Create a new shortcut to the payroll application on the server - How do I create a shortcut to access my payroll application?
