I don't know if this applies but I read this in a post on another
newsgroup..
Q:
How do I resolve error 339?
A:
Error 339 should only occur in Windows XP, 2000, and NT. Logging
into
your computer with a "limited access" user profile causes error 339,
meaning
that you do not have full administrative access to the operating
system. The
current fix is to log on as administrator within your operating
system. This
will allow full file sharing within your operating system and should
resolve
error 339.
message | LOL, boy your patient, thanks for replying every time. Lets go for
the

| Yes it seems like there is according to there message i get. However
I don't

ticked in
| folder options...view tab. I already said that I am unable to create
a new
| folder in %userprofile%\favorites because existing one there
(invisible).

( takes forever to
