After you install security update 885250 (MS05-011), you may not be able to view the contents of a subfolder on a network share by using Windows XP or Windows Server 2003

On a computer that is running Microsoft Windows XP Service Pack 1 (SP1) or Microsoft Windows Server 2003, you use one of the following methods to try to view the contents of a subfolder on a network share:

• You use the dir command-line command to view the contents of a subfolder on a network share.
• You use Microsoft Windows Explorer to view the contents of a subfolder on a network share.

When you use either of these methods, you cannot view the contents of subfolders or you can only view a partial list of files. Additionally, some files are not viewable. When you try to view the files, you receive the following error message:Note This symptom does not occur if you try to view the root folder of the network share.

Other behavior that you may see

When you experience the symptom that is described in the "Symptoms" section, you may also notice the following behavior.

Verify that the network path is correct and the destination computer is not busy or turned off. If Windows still cannot find the network path, contact your network administrator.

• The Userenv.log file may contain the following errors:
