Error in Windows Vista--

I am using Vista RC-1
I have down loaded all the Gadgets and they work fine.
But which gadget or Vista program causes an error at start up. Which says:

The error states that my computer will share this
location--------------
"C:/user/john/appdata/local/temp/WPDNSE"
I try to erase the directory which is empty but it states that it is
shared. After eraseing the directory it is still there. Am I being observed
by a hacker or is it part of a program?

I believe that error is related to WMP 11 and sharing. Look
in WMP's Options under the Library tab. You'll see "Sharing"
click the configure button and see what it says. I think if you
enable file/folder sharing it throws up that error.

My sharing was turned off . But my find media that others are sharing was
turned on. Which I turned off. I will see if that corrects the start up error.

Thank You

I noticed similar errors with Windows / msn Live Messenger 8, which installs
or offers by default shared folders, too.

This is fixed for Vista RTM. That particular location is not really shared,
and it is used only to hold temporary files created by the Windows Portable
Devices Namespace Extension (i.e. the folder view into portable devices and
USB keys). On initialization, the NameSpace Extension asks the Shell to
recursively delete this location, and the Shell was misinterpreting the
inherited protection bits on the folder (as well as ignoring the request to
do it silently)... thus the prompt.
