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.
