Trying to set the project folder in Prospector, using Data Shortcuts and the the option 'Set Data Shortcuts Project Folder' is shaded . . . 

ok, anyone know why and how to fix this problem.  It is a real problem as i have multiple drawing using data shortcuts for the existing and finish grade surfaces, pipe networks and alignments.

That option will not be available if there are no Shortcut folder in the current WorkingFolder. So be sure that you use the "Set Working folder" and select the correct folder first.

Ok, solved the problem

seems someone has used Explore to "create" a Data Shortcut folder . . . .

smart - not use Civil 3D and then cannot get to the folder, when you can see the folder  . . .. . 

AAAAAHHHHHHGGGGUUUU!!

some cad operators will never learn.

Some software companies will never learn to clearly document arcane processes.
