I have a very remote user on an XP pro SP2 box. She accesses My Network
Places and says that the Entire Network icon is missing. I can't seem to find
anything in the KB articles. Any ideas?
Whether there's an Entire Network icon may depend on how you view My
Network Places.
When I click the My Network Places icon on the desktop or the Start
menu, there's no Entire Network icon in the window that appears.
When I run Windows Explorer, click My Network Places in the left pane,
and then click View | Refresh, the Entire Network icon appears in the
left pane, but not in the right one. I can drag the Entire Network
icon from the left pane onto the desktop and then access it directly
from the desktop.
I don't know whether this behavior is a feature or a bug.
I recommend dragging/dropping other frequently-used icons (workgroups,
computers, shared disks/folders) from My Network Places to the
desktop, too. Accessing a network resource directly from a desktop
icon is faster and more reliable than browsing through My Network
Places.
