Shared Folder Icons May Revert to Standard Folder Icons

ID: Q90232

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Windows for Workgroups versions 3.1, 3.11

SYMPTOMS

The list of current share names, passwords, and comments is stored in a cache or buffer. If you share a large number of resources, the size of the share list exceeds the buffer size, dumping the list entirely. This results in shared folder icons (with hands) reverting to standard folder icons (no hands) in both the main File Manager directory listing and Connect dialog box. Also, the share confirmation dialog box no longer appears when you remove or rename a shared resource.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Windows for Workgroups File Manager version 3.1 and version 3.11. We are researching this problem and will post new information here as it becomes available.
