After rebuilding the domain server for my SOHO, one of my workstations has
ended up with a an error in its Network Places. It is a bad link and if I
click (or even right click to try to delete it) on the link, I receive the
follow popup error message.

Program Error
<process has already exited> has generated errots and will be closed by
Windows. You will need to restart the program.

An error log is being created.

I suspect that windows explorer has somehow been corrupted but have no idea
where to go to correct the error. Thanks for any help.

Before anyone spends any time, I found out how to remove the bad link.
Those network place links are kept under the profile for the user in a
directory called NetHood. What I did was open up a command prompt and
negotiate to the nethood directory. Then I negotiated to each directory
(they are listed with the same name as the network place). Inside each
directory is a link file. I deleted the file which changed the directory
itself to a file that I could then delete. Everything works.

Thanks anyway.
