SYMPTOMS
After you install a Shell namespace extension on a Windows Vista-based computer, the Shell namespace extension may not be displayed as a Shell folder.



CAUSE

RESOLUTION
To resolve this problem, restart the computer. When you restart the computer, you load all the registry values for the Shell namespace extension.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed in the &quot;Applies to&quot; section.
