Network favorites : I appear as "Unknown" in Computer view !!! :-(((

[Pivert]

Hi,

Win XP-SP1a

Had normal looking Network favorites, correctly sorted by computer.

Now suddenly my computer's shared folders for which I have created shortcuts
in network favorites appear under the heading "UnKnown" ! Other users appear
under the name of their computer

Like

This is what I get This should
be normally ( and was earlier)

Unknown Me
myFolder1 myFolder2 myFolder1
myFolder2

His-PC His-PC
folder1 folder2 folder1
folder2

Her-PC Her-PC
folder-a folder-b folder-a
folder-b

Anyone an idea ? This is not a major problem of course ( anything can be
accessed Ok) but I dislike it very much, because not clean behaviour. I
don't understant how that appears !

One detail : only thing I changed was to add MS Access 97, because I needed
to reprogram an old database Office XP cannot modify.
Haven't installed all other old Office 97 things ( like findfast, binder,
other major apps, ...)
