SYMPTOMS
When you share one or more folders from a Microsoft Virtual PC 2004 virtual machine, if you exit and then restart the virtual machine, the names of the shared folders change to &quot;Network Drive&quot; in My Computer.



CAUSE
This problem occurs because your virtual machine has either Microsoft Windows XP Service Pack 1 (SP1) installed as the guest operating system, and the physical computer is Windows XP Professional Service Pack 1-based.

If you right-click the folder, and then click Properties, the name of the shared folder is visible.



STATUS
Microsoft is researching this problem and will post more information in this article when the information becomes available.

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