i work with many companies networks running peer XP pro, and have 24 years
experience.
out of 11 companies 7 lost their shared subfolders after this hotfix. these
are systems which literally havent crashed or had any errors for the
months/years XP PRO has been on them.
when uninstalling this hotfix, shared subfolders are back. period. it works.

i have the problem though on 3 systems where under ADDREMOVE i do not see an
entry for this hotfix, and i am wondering if theres another way to uninstall
this hotfix, or if someone can tell me manually which files to place back
from a pre-hotfix machine, so i can finish the 3 off.

thanks
gg
