Hi,

I want to modify the IRPStackSize value in the registry to enable me
to share USB drives.

The MS KB article tells me how to modify the parameter, but refers
only to one CurrentControlSet. I have two (0001 and 0002). Both seem
to be the same. Any idea why?

Do I modify the parameter on both sets?

Regards
 
That doesn't sound right. From a Command Prompt issue the following
commands, pressing <Enter> after each:

cd\

reg query hklm\system>test.txt


Now go to the root folder (usually C:\) and find the file test.txt, post
the contents of the file here.

Nothing unusual. Leave ControlSet001 and ControlSet002 alone.

\ControlSet001
\ControlSet002
\CurrentControlSet

ControlSet001 may be the last control set you booted with, while
ControlSet002 could be what is known as the last known good control set, or
the control set that last successfully booted Windows NT. The
CurrentControlSet subkey is really a pointer to one of the ControlSetXXX
keys.
