Microsoft Network
If you click OK to load Windows, the Network Neighborhood icon may be missing from the desktop and you may not be able to gain access to the network or any network resources
This behavior can occur if the Msnp32.dll file is missing, corrupted, or not registered.
To resolve this behavior, extract a new copy of the Msnp32.dll file from the Windows installation mediaIf the behavior continues after extracting the file, the file is most likely not registered with Windows. To register the file, click Start, click Run, type regsvr32 msnp32.dll, and then click OK.
If you receive a "Msnp32.dll was loaded, but the DllRegisterServer entry point was not found" error message, the registry entries may be incorrect. To resolve this issue, remove and reinstall the Client for Microsoft Networks using the Network tool in Control Panel.
