RESOLUTION

and documentation for Showmbrs.exe.

Shombrs.exe is available for download from the following Microsoft FTP site:

  ftp://ftp.microsoft.com/bussys/winnt/winnt-public/reskit/nt40/i386/

STATUS
======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft products listed at
the beginning of this article.

MORE INFORMATION

Kit, though it was included on the Microsoft Windows NT Workstation 4.0 Resource
Kit and on the subsequent Supplement releases.
