    Disappearing Shares after Reboot


    Hello, what would cause 9 shares that I have on USB drives to disappear every time Windows 7 is rebooted? I have to recreate them every time.

    I did a test with another Windows 7 machine, using 1 USB share, and the first time I shared it with the 'Share with Specific People' adding Everyone to the list, and it disappeared upon reboot. I then did it through the Advanced Sharing in the Properties of the folder, rebooted and it actually remembered it. However doing it through the Advanced Sharing on the PC with 9 shares, it still didn't remember them after reboot. WHY is there 2 different places to share anyway? I want to think 1 is for remote users and 1 is for local users, but then WHY don't they just say that, do they have to make it so confusing. It's totally not intuitive.

    I wouldn't think this problem would be an early bug of 7, I mean that would be a huge bug that they would have had to squash by now, if it really is one?

    Your help is greatly appreciated!
