    The mentioned data about Hand Icon removing from the shared drive was very useful for me but when I have restored it by giving the default value “msshrui.dll”. which it stated above, is not restoring the default value. After that I have given the default value “ntshrui.dll”. It works as I have the Operating System “Windows XP version 2002 sp 3.
