Hmmmm. I had DivX installed a long time ago. Just in case I downloaded
the latest version and installed that with no joy. So the following
questions spring to mind:

- Just what is "this problem"? MSDN and other sources seem very vague?
- What hardware is this related to? Disk / Video or something else?
- Could DEP be causing this?
- What else could I try? It seems as though something is corrupted as
the icon that appears on my quick launch for the Outlook shortcut I
placed there is Outlook Express's icon. And now selecting properties on
any of the quick launch shortcuts produces this problem. Also seemingly
when I attempt to map a drive to \\127.0.0.1\ShareName

As always any suggestions welcome.
