Any ideas on how to fix? Hi Your error is most likely introduced with the security update 821557 (MS03-027). If you don't want to uninstall 821557, you can call Microsoft to obtain a fix: Desktop Shortcut to the 3 1/2 Inch Disk Drive or to the CD-ROM Drive Does Not Work http://support.microsoft.com/default...b;EN-US;824143 quote SYMPTOMS On your Windows XP desktop, when you click the shortcut to your 3 1/2 inch disk drive or to your CD-ROM drive, the shortcut does not work anymore. CAUSE This problem may occur if you have installed Windows XP update 821557: MS03-027: An Unchecked Buffer in the Windows Shell Could Permit Your System to Be Compromised or Windows XP update 330836: Shortcuts to Mapped Drives on Windows 95 or Windows 98 May Not Work in Windows XP. RESOLUTION A supported fix is now available from Microsoft... /quote As the article states, you need to call Microsoft Product Support Services to obtain it (outside the US, customers should contact their local Microsoft subsidiary.). The support call will be be free as long as you refer to the Knowledge Base Article number (Q824143) and ask for nothing more. Myself, I just would have uninstalled the security update causing this (KB821557), it isn't very important, take a look here for more details: http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=821557 http://www.microsoft.com/technet/sec...n/MS03-027.asp (or you can wait for SP2 that will contain this fix, it should be available sometime in the first half of 2004) -- torgeir Microsoft MVP Scripting and WMI, Porsgrunn Norway Administration scripting examples and an ONLINE version of the 1328 page Scripting Guide: http://www.microsoft.com/technet/scriptcenter |
