Network Shares Crashing XP Pro
I'm doing work for a small office of about 8 machines.
One of the machines (XP Pro) crashes (Explorer shuts down and restarts, no error message) when I try to move files to certain directories on the server. The server is XP Pro also. It does not do this for any other machine. I have checked the permissions of the user and it is setup just like all the other users in which it works right.
We have ensured that there is no spyware or virus.
What could be causing this?

corrupt share, corrupt profile, if the share is mapped then kill the map and try again... is this using guest login or a specific user login?

It is a specific user, not guest. There is no mapped drive, I am browsing across network places.

Does the user belong to a group that has permission to access the folders in question? If you specifically add that user to the folder permissions, does the problem stop?

I gave them full access to the shared folders and even went up a level and gave the user full access to the entire drive. Neither worked.
We are thinking about just reloading the machine Monday.

I have seen such issues in which a filename was the problem - some weird characters in the filename, or even path+filename too long.

The crash only occurs for one of the users on the machine. If I log in as any other user I works.
I tried creating a new user and moving the profile. It did not work, but gave me no error message. It would just stop working. Then the new users profile would not boot, just hang.
I tried renaming the user but that did'nt work either.
