Nah... Just a matter of searching the registry for "Sharing Folders" then seeing that CLSID and searching for that...

So SOMETHING is happening, just not the expected result. This is ALL very strange, considering that I'm installing everything on a fresh install on VistaSP1 on a 64bit machine. Weird, mang...
hmmm... strange result. Although it looks like it is the correct folder, but without the proper name. Did you reinstalled Messenger after you did those changes?
Maybe there is something wrong with the registering part of that fsshext DLL...
So, here some more registry keys which you might wanna check for the correct values:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\CLSID\{FC9FB64A-1EB2-4CCF-AF5E-1A497A9B5C2D}
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{FC9FB64A-1EB2-4CCF-AF5E-1A497A9B5C2D}
Those should contain subkeys like DefaultIcon, InprocServer32 and ShellFolder. And their root key value should be the REG_SZ "My Sharing Folders".
I've attached a registry file which you could import (but as usual at your own risk) after you've reinstalled Messenger again. But before you do that check the contents of that registry file and verify that the path of fsshext.8.5.1302.1018.dll within it is correct for your own PC.
--------------------
If the above doesn't work, you might wanna try this:
What happens when you instead completely remove all those registry keys? Thus removing every single key containing "My Sharing Folders", ""Messenger Sharing Folders" or "{FC9FB64A-1EB2-4CCF-AF5E-1A497A9B5C2D}". After that reinstall Messenger again.
--------------------
Vista64bit? The 64bit part might got something todo with it.
