In 'My Computer' when I right click and select 'Add a network location" nothing happens, nothing pops up or opens. Windows doesn't freeze, and everything else seems to be ok. It's as if the 'add a network location' wizard has been removed. I already have one ftp network directory set up and working, but I set that up a while ago. Any ideas please? Thank you in advance, Gary

Hi Mark, Thank you for your reply. But I am not sure you read my 1st post? I know how to create a network LOCATION, my issue is that the wizard does not initiate when I click "add a network location". Regards Gary

Temporarily turn off the firewall and perform a Clean Boot, see if it works. Refer to: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929135 Regards, MiyaMiya Yao TechNet Community Support

Hi Miya, Thank you for your reply and suggestion. I still had the same issue even after a clean boot, with no firewall. It seems it is a windows issue? Many thanks Gary
