I did the drag & drop for two folders into the shared folder & now I can't open them. I keep getting this message “C:Documents and Settings All User Documents Config ame of folder is not accessible. Access is denied." I have also tried to copy & cut them back to the original folder.
Building a new network of 6 boxes. All using WinXP Pro SP3.Yesterday I created a few shared folders - and they work fine all the other machines can access them. Installed a bunch of new software on the same main machine today also had a BIOS/registry/diskcheck issue - but everything seems fine now . EXCEPT, any folders I create as shared folders, while they show up on the other machines - all get the "can't be accessed permission denied" type of error message.The shares I created yesterday still work, they can be accessed, its just any new ones I create can not.simple file sharing is off, I edited the reg key to all anonymous connections, I added the NETWORK as a group allowed to access the new shares - but nothing works.
I am having a problem sharing a folder on my local network. Both PC's are using Windows XP Professional.Both PC's can see each other fine. I have simple file sharing disabled.When I try to access the shared folder I get the following error message:Quote: \CATHYTemp is not accessible. You might not have permission to use this network resource. Contact the administrator of this server to find out if you have access permissions.Access is denied. Of course, if I grant permissions to 'EVERYONE' in the security tab, I can connect to share fine.
I used to be able to access the shared folders that are on my computer that is running windows XP on my vista laptop and my xbox 360 but they are no longer showing up I just spent a couple of hours trying to get it working again but nothing
I'm stupid so I messed up with services using a tweaking guide to make my pc faster.and now I can't access shared folders of computer's on my network. meaning that "My Network Places" is empty.
this problem is a little tricky to explain.I have 2 computers (A and B) on a home network, connected through a router and hard-wired with Cat5 cable. They are both running Windows XP Pro SP3 and file/print sharing is turned on. Simple file sharing is turned on.Both computers can Ping each other successfully. Both computers can "Net View" each other successfully.Both computers can see the other's shared folders in My Network Places.Computer A can access the shared folders on Computer B and transfer files, etc.
I have a new pc freshly installed with XP SP3. I used it as a server, I shared the two harddrives and mapped them as drive F and G on the network. The sharing and mapping is successfull, however, after a few minutes of being started (or after the pc has been restarted), the sahred folders and harddrives were self-disconnected for unknown reasons. My colleage timed it, and the sharing lasts only 15 minutes after restart then it is disonnected from the network. When i say disconnected - i mean i can't be seen from other PC's connected to the network, i need to restart the pc (again and again) in order for the harddrive and folder sharing is restored. I can say it is disconnected because the sharing icon (a hand with a disk drive on the palm) disappears and other PC's cannot access it.
I have this problem trying to connect to my laptop or desktop (both ways).I am able to see the shared folders, but if I want to access them I get a password prompt. It asks me for a password and nothing works, I've tried enable/disable guest account.
I am doing sharing like this.From Run i am typing the ip address after this it shows all folders.I am only sharing so i gave all permissions. then also i could not open the folder it shows the error message. v.sugumar Message was edited by: admin to remove email address to prevent spam harvesters from picking it up.
I am working in domain with 30 desktops and one server. Every user is able to access shared folders from every other system as per rights assigned. But in one system, whenever an user tries to access shared folder he gets the following message: "\*.*.*.* is not accessible. You might not have permission to use this network resource. Contact the administrator of this server to find out if you have access permissions.The account is not authorised to log in from this station."
When I D/Load some programmes I get access is denied. I had previouly reformatted my HD and now have drive F, when I try to access certain folders or /and executable programmes access is denied. Currently trying to install Roboform in Firefox
My old HDD was dying and has a S.M.A.R.T. error (although it will still boot and run it is getting slow).So I bought a new drive, slammed it in the case and decided to do a nice clean reinstall (XP Home with all the SP2 and updates available).I left the old drive in the bay and was hoping to copy across any odd file However I get a lot of "Access is Denied" messages when trying to view/read/change attributes on files/folders especially in Documents & Settings.
I was reading Medicatedsoap's thread about freeing space on a hard drive, I too would like to investigate freeing up some space from the C:|RRbackups and C:System Volume Information folders. However, even after signing on as an administrator and unhiding the "Protected Operating System Files" in Windows Explorer (Tools - Folder Options - View), these folders come up as "Access Denied" both in Windows Explorer and Treesize. How can I get access to these folders?I'm running Windows XP Home sp3 on an IBM Thinkpad laptop.
I have two machines on my home net and both run XP-Pro.Problem 1 is that I have something like 30k files in the recyclers on my D Drive that I can't delete.Problem 2 is that I recently did a restore from a backup and even though user names, admin access etc are same I can't access open or even delete many of the unused folders. I have tried moving them to shared files folder, and using my admin privilege to take ownership and or change attributes but nothing so far works. Safe boot, safeboot command prompt all nada. can any one help me out here ?
I am trying to move files from my old XP computer (to be called OLD from now on) to my new Vista computer (to be called NEW) over my network. In some folders, there are some files that don't have the correct permissions for me to move them. I get this message on NEW when I try to copy them over: Destination Folder Access Denied You need permission to perform this action
The folder that these files are in on OLD has the correct permissions set, but for some reason some, not all, of the files within it have not inherited the correct permissions level. I can't figure out how to change the permissions level of these individual files. When I right-click on the problematic files in OLD, I do not see a Security tab.
I'm not sure what settings I need to tweak, but I'm sure someone here as experienced this and might know. I have a desktop and a laptop, both running XP (desktop XP Home SP2, laptop XP Media Center SP2). Both systems are running ZoneAlarm firewall and both are current and set up properly for my network and for file sharing. I have file sharing/print sharing set up, and have no problems sharing files both ways...except... On both systems, I have "My Documents" shared, with both boxes check to "Share this folder on the network" and "Allow network users to change my files".
Am trying to set up a network with xp Home edition. I am curious about a couple of things. What is the difference in copying verses moving a file to the shared document folder? I would thing that by copying it, one is "duplicating" it and thereby using up resources. IF that is the case, when you access a file and make changes, are the changes saved to both places?
I am having a system with XP Pro x64 with multiple shared folders. Here is the setup. I have about 10 users (1 Admin account, 9 Limited accounts). I have created 10 folders for each User and modified them as shared folders with each user having access to their respective folders ONLY while the Admin account will have access to all folders. I have disabled 'Simple File Sharing', switched off Guest Account. Now I can view this system on other systems on the n/w. But the problem is, if I map a shared folder on one system, I was not able to map anymore on other systems and it gives error, 'the system can not accept multiple connections' in those lines.
I set up a shared folder on my hard drive for music that my daughter can listen to from her computer. Everything is fine, she can play the music with no problem. I wanted to hear a song, couldn't remember where or what it was named so I did a search for the song and surprisingly, the windows search returned three results for the song I wanted to hear. One song is in my music folder, and the other two songs are shown in the same folder. Here is an abbreviated search result for this one song:
I have a home network with 3 PC's running XP Home SP2 and a Linksys Router. I had to replace the mother board in one of the computers and since then some ... not all ... shared directories are not accessible from the other 2 computers. If I attempt to open some of the folders I get an error message that says "You might not have permission to use this network resource. Contact the administrator of this server to find out if you have access permissions.
Is there a way (on XP), to have password security on shared folders? We have a "backup server," which is nothing more then a workstation with Windows ME, that our users store files on. Everyone has their own folder with a different password. I can't get a HD to work that is larger than 120gb. I have an XP machine with a 300gb HD that I would like to use, but I absolutely have to be able to have passwords on the shared
I'm trying to connect to connect two PC's with XP Pro over a network via the shared folders. I know the domains are the same so that isn't the issue. The hidden share is still enabled on the other machine. I go to explorer and type in \PCnamec:$ and I get a message saying that I need to check my spelling. The name is correct, so how should I enter in the location in the address bar?
* By using "computer management"</a> i can see who are connected to my shared files in the LAN.<br> http://www.cleverworkarounds.com/wp content/uploads/2007/10/image3.png <br>* How can i make XP to log these events??<br> <br> For example who has been reached to my shared folders, and opened which files? Because i also wonder who has connected to my computer even i was not on my desk.<br>
Using XP sp2, trying to clear out some useless files on an external drive, no matter how many files I deleted it didn't make much change in space recovered then I checked the size of Windows Live One backup file,50 gig,(wow) that's 60% of the total drive space, while trying to delete it,I get the message "cannot delete DO_NOT_DELETE.mediaID: access denied" Make sure the disk is not full or write protected and that file is not currently in use.
I did a terrible mistake today. Typically I install XP in C drive and keep My Documents folder in D drive. All of my hard disk drives (except the linux partitions) are NTFS. I encrypted the My Documents folder and all of its files and subfolders.Today I reinstalled XP in the C drive, after a quick format on it. I was unaware of the fact that what might be happened to My Documents folder. Now I can only view the files and folders inside My Documents folder. Neither I open any file, nor I decrypt those files. Windows is saying access denied.
I am running Virtual PC 2007 on a Vista Platform. Everything is good with the exception of setting up shared folders. I have three guest PCs running. I have installed Virtual Machine Additions on all three. I am able to set up and access a shared folder on the host system on one of the three with no problem but the other two refuse to access any shared folder. When I configure the shared folder, it shows up in the guest PC under MyComputer, but it shows as "disconnected" and is inaccessible.
Files on my second hard drive were shared on the network (level 4, Network users could only read) and primary hard drive was reformatted and Windows XP sp2 was installed.(without the files being unshared) Now when trying to access the files the error "Access Denied" occurs and I cant access or delete the files (would really like to recover the data about four years worth of work taking up about 75% of the hard drive)
I am the Admin, and I can't change any of the folders propertys as I again get the "access denied" error. I've been looking everywhere for a solution to this, this is what I found from MS help (not very helpfull) A file's permission may differ from the containing folder if one of the following conditions is true:

I just picked up a Sony Vaio laptop F270. From what I can gather is it has (2) separate partitions. I want to do a complete wipe/format of the HD and get back to having (1) Large partition
I reinstalled Windows with the backup feature provided with the backup (emachine). After I had updated windows completely & replaced my extensive collection of fonts I went to put all my personal files back. I get this message: Quote: "FOLDER LOCATION" is not accessible. Access is denied. It's the "C:Documents and SettingsOwner" folder
It has all my music, videos, photos, & work for things I do in it. I can get into my 'WINDOWS' folder and 'Program Files' but not that.
