and
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Drive\shellex\PropertySheetHandl ers\MSSharing"

are not present on my machine.

The absence of the entries means that File & Printer sharing isn't
enabled.

Is there a patch for them?

I really don't know. I had hoped that re-registering msshrui.dll would
have done this for you but the file isn't a registrable file. I'll try
and do some research and post back my findings but networking isn't really
one of my strong points.

Try disabling File & Printer Sharing, uncheck both "I want to be able to
give others access to my files" and "I want to be able to allow others to
share my printer(s)", click OK, OK and reboot. Now enable File & Printer
Sharing and check both the boxes, click OK, OK again and reboot. Has this
now added the missing registry entries?
