Aparently, MS consider this a security risk.
Many people do not agree.
After a much-heated argument, and a lot of hot air,
the following workaround was posted:

To re-enable the Directory folder on a Windows XP Professional client PC in
a Domain Environment:
1. Copy the dsfolder.dll from a Windows 2000 (SP2 or later) machine to the
Windows XP machines (It is in the SYSTEM32 folder under the WINNT folder on
Windows 2000 (by default) and needs to go into the SYSTEM32 folder usually
under WINDOWS on Windows XP (by default)
2. Close all instances of Windows Explorer
3. Run "regsvr32 dsfolder.dll" on the XP machines.
4. Done
The above process is TOTALLY UNSUPPORTED and provided AS IS with no

It works for me.
