I also see this. It has appeared on 3 folders so far. All folders were
created after OL07 and SP1 installed. 2 folders that have a hand (personal
and intercall), are subfolders of a folder that also has a hand (folder
called info). 2 more subfolders of info do not have hands. I never shared any
of these folders, their permissions are all the same (also check their
properties). The 2 subfolders with hands are the newest folders, and I never
saw a hand before I created the personal subfolder.

I do see hands for my shared tasks, and calendar folders, however, I expect
to see the hands on those folders, I shared them.
