Windows disables my shared folders

[Joran]

Hi I am running Xp with an exteranl hard drive. I have an Xbox networked
through a router. I can share and view my shared folders in the session that
I activate them in but when I shut down and restart all of the folders that I
had marked for sharing have been lost. This applies for both folders on my
internal and external hard drive.

If I re-share then I am able to view them again. Any ideas on why this share
setting is not being saved??

Does the computer have a non-Microsoft network management program
installed? A VPN program? A firewall program with network management
capabilities?

Hi,
I am having the same problem as Joran, but only with my WDC500 external hard
drive.
I am running Windows XP SP3 through a Belkin wired router with a WDC MyBook
500 GB external hard drive that only shares for one session. All the file
and folder shares carry over from one session to the next.
My computer does not have a non-Microsoft network management program, nor a
VPN, and in my Windows Firewall, File and Print Sharing is checked.
What should I look at next?
Thanks

My reply is in the message that you saw, but it might be hard to find.
I'll repeat it here:
