The Directory icon in Entire Network in My Network Places is missing

Windows XP Professional SP2

I have a very strange problem.

For no apparent reason, the Entire Network directory icon in in My Network
Places is missing.

I reinstalled SP2.
I uninstalled and reinstalled the File and Printer Sharing for Microsoft
Networks.
I uninstalled and reinstalled the Client for Microsoft Networks.

None of these procedures corrected the problem.

Another strange thing is that the Turn Off Computer dialog reverted back to
the old combo list (It says Windows XP Professional in the dialog) instead
of the newer 3 button Turn Off Computer dialog.

Any help is appreciated.

Try installing the program Tweak XP (from microsoft) which lets you repair
icons.

Thanks for the feedback.

That corrected the Entire Network situation.

Apparently, the User Account somehow was changed.
I opened the User Account control.
Clicked on "change the way users log on or off".
Then checked the "Use the Welcome screen".
Why it changed to begin with is still unknown,
but at least it is working now.

Although there is a program called TweakXP, it is a third-party program, and
not from Microsoft.

You are probably thinking of TweakUI.
