We have a broad base of Windows 2000 PCs on which we have an icon for our
users to gain access to our domains Active Directory (so they can add
printers, see resources etc.) This icon doesn't seem to work on our Windows
XP workstations, in fact it just comes up with a normal explorer window. I
seem to remember getting this to work in the dim and distant past but I can't
remember what I did.

Does anyone have any ideas?
