SYMPTOMS

If you share a directory on an NTFS partition and only give full access to yourself (or another user account), but not to SYSTEM (the operating system itself), the share is not recreated the next time you start Windows NT.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Windows NT and Windows NT Advanced Server version 3.1. This problem was corrected in the latest U.S. Service Pack for Windows NT and Windows NT Advanced Server version 3.1.
