    This behavior can occur if the Microsoft Client for Microsoft Networks is installed without file and printer sharing.
    RESOLUTIONTo resolve this behavior, install file and printer sharing for Microsoft Networks. To do so:
    Click Start, point to Settings, and then click Control Panel.
    Double-click Network.
    Click Add, click Service, and then click Add.
    Click File and printer sharing for Microsoft Networks, and then click OK.
    Click OK, and then restart your computer when you receive a prompt to do so.

    no, it doesn't work. I've tried remove and add the File and printer sharing for Microsoft Networks.

    Hi

    Open the Passwords applet in the Control Panel and move to the Remote Administration tab
    Select Enable Remote Administration of this server.
    Choose Add to bring up the Choose Administrators dialog box
    Select a name from the left column and click Add to move it to the list of administrators for this computer. Repeat this step until you have added all the people or groups to which you want to grant remote administrative permissions.
    Tip: When you establish user-level security, Windows 95 and 98 automatically enable remote administration and put the Domain Administrators group in the list of administrators with permissions.


    Click OK, and then click OK again to close the dialog box.

    At this point, the Windows 95 or 98 workstation is set up to accept remote administration (it’s a good idea to restart the computer before attempting to administer it from a remote location). You can access files and shares and make changes, but you cannot access the registry. Now, you must establish remote registry service to include access to the registry in your remote administration.

    Setting Up Remote Registry Service
    Setting up the remote registry service is the last step in preparing for remote registry administration for Windows 95 and 98 machines. The following checklist is important:
    Both computers must have remote administration enabled and user-level security in place.
    There must be a security provider, which means a server that enforces security (and of course, both computers must log on to that server). NT 4 Server and NetWare are both security providers (you cannot administer a registry remotely on a Windows 95 or 98 peer-to-peer network).
    You must have the Windows 95 or 98 CD-ROM available on both computers.
    Once you’re ready, follow these steps to install the remote registry service on both the administrator’s Windows 95 or 98 computer and the target computer:
    Open the Network Properties dialog box (from the Control Panel, or by right-clicking Network Neighborhood and choosing Properties). The dialog box opens with the Configuration tab in the foreground, displaying a list of network components for this computer
    Choose Add to begin the process of adding a new service.
    When the Select Network Component Type dialog box appears, choose Service, and then click Add.
    The Select Network Service Dialog box appears, displaying a list of available Windows 95 or 98 services (none of which fit the bill). Choose Have Disk to install the remote registry service, which isn’t part of the normal Windows 95 or 98 network components.
    In the Install From Disk dialog box, enter the path to the remote registry service files on your Windows 95 or 98 CD: d:\Admin\Nettools\RemotReg, where d: is the drive letter for your CD-ROM. Then, click OK.
    Choose Microsoft Remote Registry and click OK.
    When you return to the Network Properties dialog box, click OK. The files are transferred. Then, Windows needs to transfer some system files and will ask you to insert the Windows 95 or 98 CD-ROM (see Figure 11-6). Click OK and enter the path to the operating system files: d:\win95 or d:\win98, where d:\ is your CD-ROM drive.
    Restart the operating system.
    Tip: The reason for the instructions in Step 7 is that Windows 95 and 98 don’t realize they will be transferring the files from the original Windows 95 or 98 CD for remote registry services. When these programs need files from the operating system, they instruct you to place the Windows 95 or 98 CD-ROM into the drive. To set things right, you simply need to point to the correct path for the regular operating system files (d:\win95 or d:\win98). Windows thinks you’ve placed the original Windows CD-ROM in the drive and continues along cheerfully, transferring the needed system files to your hard drive.

    Repeat this entire process for each Windows 95 or 98 computer you want to administer remotely, and for your own Windows 95 or 98 computer.

    You can administer another Windows 95 or 98 computer from your own Windows 95 or 98 computer, which is a nifty way to perform some basic diagnostic and troubleshooting tasks. Someone must be logged on to the remote machine for you to administer it remotely.

    The most straightforward way to administer a remote Windows 95 or 98 machine is to use the tools available via Network Neighborhood:
    Open Network Neighborhood and right-click the Windows 95 or 98 computer you want to administer.
    Choose Properties from the shortcut menu.
    Move to the Tools tab and select the tool you want to use
