O.P. RE: "My Shared Folders" Missing...
Ya, this is pretty ridiculous. I remember with my old Vista64 install, I installed messenger by itself (8.1 I think) and this install was through the Windows Live Installer... I'm thinking maybe the new v9 will fix this. Or perhaps maybe installing 8.1 will do the trick. Is that available somewhere?
Finally, the WLive "Support" is a joke. It's just a glorified FAQ! Where the hell is a support rep??? Alright, I have found another piece of the puzzle. I nuked all entries, and installed 8.1. It appears it's installing keys in another location, due to my 64bit OS. Here's an example:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\Wow6432Node\CLSID\{FC9FB64A-1EB2-4CCF-AF5E-1A497A9B5C2D}
Perhaps I need to re-write your .reg file so that it's updating the correct locations accordingly... Alright. I give up. Looks like I have a hosed version. I noticed that the "My Sharing Folders" Shortcut doesn't get created either in My Documents folder. Go figure. In any case... thanks for everyone's help!
