Can access folder on a computer, but not the other

I have a vista computer that has a folder that I want to join.  I have 2 computers newly built win7.  I can access the folder on the vista computer with win7 computers only.  I went through everything I can think of and all settings appear to be identical between the two platforms of win7.  I took a peek in the management of the computer sessions and my computer with win7 I can't access it from is listed as a guest, not my user name.  I have no idea why, all the comp have same login name, password and admin access.  I have disabled guest accounts.  It's the only thing I can find different between win7 computers which could explain why I can't access the folder in question.

Anyone know how I can transfer my network setting win7 rig with access to the other without, or fix everything that's wrong with my access rights so that I can get the folder I want?  I can see the drives and folders that I shared.  I can not open them, I get one you don't have permission to access this folder message.  I have everything I can find associated with sharing turned on (except the password) and everything related to the firewall disabled is trying to access.

Thanks for the pointers you can give me.

Hi Dave68_31,

This could be a problem with the permissions of files and folders.  The following procedure will help you change the owonership and permissions of files and folders.

1. right click on the file or folder, click Properties, and then click the Security tab.

2. click on Advancedand then click the owner tab.

3. click on Editand then do one of the following:

o to change the owner to a user or group that is not listed, click other users and groups , in area enter the object name to select (examples), type the name of the user or group, and then click OK.

o to change the owner to a user or group that appears in the area of change of ownership to , click the new owner.

4. If you want to take ownership of the contents of the folder, select the checkbox replace the owner of sub containers and objects .

5. click OKand then click Yes when you receive the following message is displayed:

You are not allowed to read the contents of directory folder name. Do you want to replace the the directory permissions with permissions granting you full control?

All permissions will be replaced if you click Yes.

Note folder_name is the name of the folder you want to take charge.

6. click on OKand then reapply the permissions and security settings that you want for the folder and its contents.

For your Information

Ø an administrator can take ownership of any file on the computer.

Ø assignment of ownership of a file or folder can require that raise you your permissions using user access control.

Hope this has been helpful.

  • My Nano Gen 7 is recognized on a single computer, but not the other

    My Nano Gen 7 is recognized on a single computer, but not the other.  I went through all the troubleshooting tips.  Different cables, try all USB ports, uninstall/reinstall itunes, etc.  I have itunes more up-to-date software.  I was able to connect the ipod to my backup computer and confirmed that I also have the software more up-to-date on the ipod.  Since I am able to connect to it, I also did a factory reset the iPod, but it still wouldn't connect to my main computer.  Nothing has worked.  I think there must be a setting on my pc.  I use the latest version of windows 10.  Any suggestions are welcome.  Thank you

    I just bought an Ipod Nano 7th generation and itunes does not recognize it.  Had by all the standard troubleshooting (uninstall/install itunes, etc.) and no luck.  My PC recognizes, he calls the 'nano' but acknowledges as a USB mass storage device.  I spoke to a support person from apple for more than an hour to help me troubleshoot it, finally they just said it was a windows problem, and I need to contact Microsoft.

  • Why can I not access a computer2 from computer1, but not the other way around?

    I have a home network using the ethernet cable connected to an ATT Wireless and wired modem/router wired. Vista premium Computer1 and computer2 has Vista Home premium.

  • Clubhouse 23 HP: HP Officejet Pro 8600 is offline to a computer, but not the other

    In our office network, we have problems with printing. We have several computers set up in the network and all print on the same printer, our HP Officejet Pro 8600. However, you can print from all except one. It reports an error in offline mode. Usually, rebooting the computer and the printer solved that problem, now, is not the case. I uninstalled the printer, reinstalled and it worked temporarily. I also disconnected from the network to the printer and the computer and reconnected them both. I have also shut down the computer, the printer and the router and restarting their router, printer, and then computer. I still have the same problem with just a computer. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    I solved the problem on my own. I had to remove all the devices on the network printer and reinstall on all devices.

  • My Wired internet connection works on a computer, but not the other.

    I have a rope Ethernet connecting my cable modem to my laptop. When I plugged it in, it immediately connected my laptop to the internet. I took this same chord and plugged into my office. It connects, but I get a 'local only' connection and cannot access the internet. I tried all suggestions from windows to solve the problem. I reinstalled my network card. I played with all the internet options in Control Panel. How to make this work? It is clearly not the modem or the cable because it works on my laptop.

  • Flash Player crashes a pc but not the other

    I have two PCs each running xp sp3.  Players of Flash in Chrome and Firefox crash one of them, but not the other.  Obviously something is different between the two computers, but how can I evenbegin to understand what he.  I've seen a lot of posts on Flash crash peoples computers and no satisfactory answers to my problem.  Thanks for responding.

    First thing to try on the computer crash is to disable hardware acceleration (http://forums.adobe.com/thread/891337).

    If this resolves the problem, then you should update the drivers for your graphics card (and re-enable hardware acceleration).

  • SWF is MIA on a field, but not the other?

    I have a modest Web page which I use primarily to set up the occasional photograph of the family:

    http://www.staggclan.com

    .. .and that contains a Flash xreferencing file a Flash video. That's what it is supposed to look like: http://www.dfwaug.net/test/index.html.

    As you can see - the video works very well in this last example (it's the same hierarchy). But why don't you see the video on my site? You can take a look at the source for staggclan.com on this page and you can see that I'm NOT xreferencing my hard drive and I am referencing an image that has not been downloaded (although I was - you would see at least one indicator 'broken image'). It does not even include space for where this video should be - it's as if he was not yet placed there.

    For the life of me I don't know what the problem is. Why is - that will work in a field, but not the other (both hosted by 1 & 1. com)? One who can correctly solve this problem for me will find me ETERNALLY THANKFUL.

    All the best.

    Hello

    1. you receive the error message only when you scan directly from the Brother MFC-J615W printer?

    2. are you able to scan or print from the computer to which the printer is connected?

    If the problem occurs only when you try directly scan at the printer, then I would suggest that you contact the support of brother about the question.

  • How just the keywords in a folder to display name, but not the keyword of the same name, itself?

    How can I get just the keywords within the photograph on the screen, but not the word "photography" itself?

    Do you mean, how do you get pictures containing child 'photography' to display keywords, but not the photos containing the keyword "photography"?  If that's what you want:

    In the library filter bar metadata Explorer, add the keyword column.  Expand the parent keyword "photography".  Click on the first keyword of the child and shift + click on the key word of the last child, so that all the keywords under "photography" are selected.  All the photos containing the child keywords of "photography" show now, but no photos containing "photography":

  • Audio in a timeline yet, but not the other?

    Hello

    I am trying to solve a problem in a timeline yet for Blu - ray with a MPEG2 and AC3 file.  It's weird because with the exact specifications of the same file for the video and audio, I'm able to hear the audio from the test project calendar (short term), but not the project calendar full length (about an hour and a half in duration).

    I'm burning a disk to verify that audio is just not there, rather than a problem reading with the project any longer, but can anyone suggest what may be broken here?  Again, the two projects seem to be identical in the parameters and specifications file for the video and audio, only the duration of a (work) is shorter than the other (does not).

    The audio file has been posted outside still like audio playback.

    Thank you for all what thoughts - what someone might have here.  BTW, the project has no menu screen.  That's a 'read only' Blu - ray disc
