Network folder changes to webfolder

My office network worked fine before, not sure what I changed on one computer, but that computer cannot save files on a certain network folder anymore.

When using "Save As" on a file, and choosing My Network Places, I get the list of shared docs folders and a couple other shared folders on the network. However, one shared folder always has a duplicate with a green arrow on the icon indicating it is a webfolder (only when using this one computer - others work fine). I delete it. I go to the original on but it still opens as a webfolder (a green arrow in the icon in the location bar, not a regular folder icon) and I can NOT save the file!

When I go back to My Network Places the webfolder duplicate I deleted is back! Every time I delete it (and even recreate the original folder too), it reappears as a webfolder!

If I want to save a file to that shared folder, I have to use Windows Explorer and go to that network folder then copy and paste the file there. Save-as won't work.

One other thing I'm not sure is related is network folders - maybe only that one, I forget - won't update unless I refresh it! I can change the title of a file, then it snaps back to the original. Refresh and see the change. Delete a file - have to refresh for it to dissapear.

Ideas?
