I need help please.

I used to think I had a networking problem browsing the shared Public folder
(or any other shared folder) of one Vista machine from another Vista machine
but i've discovered that I can't browse the shared Public folder (or any
other shared folder) of a Vista machine from it's own Network view
(Network\Computer Name\Public). Explorer won't browse and it crashes. I can
see the shared folder (Public or otherwise) easily enough, it's just
impossible to browse it.

I have no problem browsing the Public folder on a Vista machine if I start
at it's own Computer view (Computer\C:\Users\Public), but impossible from
it's own Network view (Network\Computer Name\Public).

Note I'm trying to browse the Public folder on the same machine not from a
different machine, and Windows Explorer crashes. Both of my Vista machines
behave the same way.

Well I had to do a Day 0 install, seems like Vista does not like third party
defraggers for registry or HDD. Somehow networking gets messed up pretty
easily. My recommendation, don't mess with Vista using third party
software, it can't play nice !!!
