Sharepoint Explorer View - Different Folder Icons Question
I have multiple XP pro clients accessing my sharepoint server and utilizing Explorer View on Document Librarys to access and modify documents and folders. I have 2 users whose folders show up differently than the others and have some strange capability
limitations that the rest of my user base does not experience. I tried searching around for a solution or at least an explanation to what is happening on these 2 machines. The folder icon is different on these two machines and shows
2 small documents over teh folder in the icon. What does this mean? How do i fix it so that this machine has the same folders and capabilities as everyone else? Thank you in advance to any who can shed light on this subject. I
tried to post a screen shot, but this forum does not allow pictures.
Thanks,

Hi Mike,
I just finally made it back here in hopes for an answer to this question to find that i did not have my alerts set up correctly. We are good now.
I have posted a picture here that shows that the folders are indeed web folders on these users' computers. I have not idea why they show up as web folders on thiers and file folders on everyone elses.

Thanks,
