[Samba] Drag and Drop and Crash

[Jim Summers]

Thought I would post this for Rhiannon.  As mentioned that patch can not be 
removed safely. When I tried to remove it, it listed four or five other 
patches that may not work correctly.  So I cancelled out.

I may try and do a windows repair and see if that will put a fresh copy of the 
  affected file(s) back on the machine.   The repair I mention is the repair 
option you get when the installer finds a copy of windows on the hd and then 
asks to repair or whatever.  Not the one where you use recovery console.

Ideas / Suggestions.

Many Thanks
