After the latest round of updates and fixes to xp home, my desktop shortcuts
to my DVD,cd writer, and floppy drive no longer work after I reboot the
computer. It seems they work if I keep it on , but if I shut down for the
night , the next day they are non functional. Any ideas on how to get them
to work. They also have stopped functioning in my Office Toolbar.
 
Update 821557 caused it.

Either uninstall 821557 or follow the instructions here:
Shortcut to the 3 1/2 Inch Disk Drive or to the CD-ROM Drive Does Not Work (must call MS for fix or wait for SP2)

I tried to find the uninstall in ADD/REMOVE list but it is not there. How
would I remove the update 821557? I also posted this as a new thread sorry.

I may have been in the rollup patch, looking at my stem that seems to be the case because I don't have the uninstall for it either. Best to call and get the fix.
