Hi there,
Just wondering why all of a sudden the Icons under "My Network Places" cannot be accessed, and showing "unspecified". I've tried to delete them and created new ones, but the problem occurs again! Please help, thanks.

So did the problem start when you attempted to delete the connections listed? And now you can't get them back? What type of connection did you have? Wireless? Hard-wired? How many other computers do you have on the network that are accessible by the problem computer?
More details would be helpful.

Morning Jennifer,
No, I didn't delete the icons under "My Network Places"...it just happened all of a sudden that those Icons were "unspecified" (white icon instead of yellowish folder). That's why I took the liberty to delete them all and re-create them again. But after a few hours, the problem came back! Yes, its' wireless network and it's about 16 terminals. COuld it be a virus? But I already checked everything (even HiJackThis) and seems OK. Any lead? Thx, God bless.
