Repair the WebFolders system folder

[Guest]

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.customize (More info?)

I have a shortcut to WebFolders.
Now it doesn't work on my computer. I tested it on another computer and it
works.
When I right-click the shortcut, there is no "Open" option.

Also when I open a WebFolder I see a link to WebFolders in the Common Tasks
panel, but now this link doesn't work.

How can I make the WebFolders system folder available?

How it happened:
A few days ago (during a memory upgrade) the registry hives were corrupted
due to a system failure. I exported them (\WINDOWS\System32\config\SYSTEM
and \WINDOWS\System32\config\SOFTWARE) to .REG files, then restored an old
backup and imported the .REG files back in the registry. The system works
like new, except that I cannot open the WebFolders system folder.

Question 2:
Can I display the WebFolders in My Computer? It's hidden by default.

1. I open a web folder (double-click the link file)
filename: LocalMedia.lnk
name: LocalMedia
address: https://server:9000/
2. View --> Explorer Bar --> Folders
3. I am here:
Desktop\My Computer\Web Folders\LocalMedia
4. When I click "Web Folders" nothing happens. It should open it, but
something's wrong? How can I fix it?
