Default Absolute hyperlinks without losing local hyperlinks! 2nd attem

The problem is the Excel limit of 219 caracteres.
My team had links as R:\myexcel.xls inside its MS Office 2003 documents.
Everything went well.

But when we installed the Office Service Pack 3, the Office now
automatically translate to
\\madomaine\myshare\myfolder1\myfolder2\a lot of folders\foder n\myexcel.xls

What a nigthmare. The Windows is not able to open the Excel files.

But when I went to My Network Places and searched for the Gemini server, I
got an address that looked like \\Zodiac\Gemini\TechWriters\document.doc.
When I used that kind of address in my hyperlinks (instead of
e:\TechWriters\document.doc), everything worked fine for everybody.

What am I missing in this problem?
