Buggy WinXP Patch 821557 ???

When I installed Windows Update 821557, I lost function of my right
click drop down menus, couldn't rename files or folders and several
other bugs.

System would lock and had to force quit what ever was involved. I
uninstalled the patch and everything returned to normal. To play it
safe, I restored my Win XP SP1 (home edition) to a previous state
(before patch). I'm afraid to install this patch again and have been
trying to gather info on this buggy patch. Anyone else having problems
with this patch ?? I'd like to know-----Thanks !!

I did a quick search on this on google groups. You're not
alone, and MS is aware of the problem, and are working
it. Possible causes: XP needs to have SP1 before the
patch, antivirus programs interfering with the patch, and
not revbooting after the patch. (according to MS)
