Sorry for previous post. Happy fingers . I have a situation I have never seen
before.
Am running a Small Business Server 2003 office where all users are running
Windows XP Pro. We have shared files on the server. I have one user when a
certain folder from the server is mapped as a network drive the mapping works
and adds the icon to the "My Computer" folder, but when it tries to show the
contents of the folder I receive the following: "Go to control panel to add
system resources." Other folders can be mapped with no problem. I have
checked all settings (share permissions, security, etc) on both folders as
well as the parent folders and they are the same. I ahve even added the user
individually to the security with full rights and still receive the same
message. though I can navigate directly to the folder via the "My Network
Places". What am I missing? Thanks is advance for your assistance.

Are you sure that's the exact text of the error message? What do you see in
the workstation event logs? Does this happen when any other user is logged
into the domain from this computer? How are you doing your drive mapping
(login script, etc)?
