Hi Shane

  A while back I used your program with reset registry,file permissions and register system files checked. Everything is fine but now all of my user specific folders in explorer have a little icon over the bottom left corner of them. How do I get explorer to show just the folder with out icon (the icon is a picture of two people, head with shoulders)?

I have seen this happen on 3 machines so far. And only 3. Those are the sharing icons. (These machines where windows 7)

Windows thinks they are shared even though they are not and they don't even show up in the share list. I have found it only shows up for the users profile and no other folders.

I would love to find out what cause this glitch. I don't know what is special about these machines that have had it happen when hardly anyone else has it happen to them. But if your willing to work with me I would like to find a fix and get it added to the repair :wink:

First lets see if any of those folders show up in the registry where shares are stored.

Forgot to mention that I'm on vista. That kind of blows the whole windows 7 only problem out of the water LOL.

Shane:
Not really, vista and 7 are brothers lol

Let me know when your back (Heading out myself) and we will try some more things :-)
