Unable to access files in the public folders of other accounts.

I have two accounts on my windows machine 7 and when I load a file in the public folder of one the other cannot access the file.  I have to grant permissions to the other user for each file individually.  Incedentally both accounts are Admins.   Any ideas?

As a general rule, if you move a file from one folder to another, the file protections are maintained as they were before the move - so if UserX doesn't have permissions to a file in one of your folders, move them to a folder Public will not give permission.  However, if you copy a file to a folder to another one, then the copied file/folder will take on the permissions of the folder newly containing.

Bottom line... try dragging the file in the Public folder with your mouse right button when you release, select "Copy" from the context menu.

    Hello

    The easiest way is with a crossover cable - a special wire to connect the two systems.
    You can get one at your local computer store - they are not expensive.

    Also check with the site of the manufacturer of your router, because they will have in-depth details on how to

  • Machine Vista "frequently", but not always, ask user name and password to access the public folders on the XP machine.

    Location:

    4 x Vista computers
    1 x XP computer acting as a server file, all the data in the "shared folders".

    All 4 Vista computers were to access shared data on the XP machine for two years without problem. All of a sudden this week one of the Vista computers "Frequently" but not always ask for a username and password to access the machine XP - not only shared folders, but still a list of shared resources on the machine XP via my network places is the result in the box of "connect to" request credentials to appear. All 3 other Vista machines have no problem to access the XP machine, so the problem must be with the a Vista machine.

    To put a spanner in the works as I have said in this case "Frequently" and by that I mean probably 9 of the 10 connection attempts. Let's say, you can see the name of the computer in my network places, you double click it and have asked for credentials, cancel the attempt and to repeat 4 or 5 times and then you could get display shared resources without going into the details of connection. For a few minutes, you might be able to access all the shared data and to navigate through the folders, but then all of a sudden have asked you credentials and can not access to anything, even the files accessed you seconds before.

    Lets say you are able to access the shared folders, you navigate to the Parent folder, then under A folder, then a subfolder B, go back to A notebook, then try to access folder B even once and you get guest credentials, quit out of the network completely locations, navigate back to the XP via Network Places and this machine you not even be able to display all the shared resources on the XP machine.

    I've also set up a shared folder on a Vista machine with matching username and password on the machines and the Vista machine with the get the problem exactly the same problem so this definatley Vista machine with the question and not sharing files on the XP machine.

  • How can I move the public folders default location to a new drive?

    I'll put up a brand new machine with Windows 7 pre-installed and a big 500 GB hard drive.  I partitioned the drive into 2 logical drives C: and E:

    Wherever possible I want to store all user data on E: (I know is not possible for all the parameters of the user to move - mores the pity).  I have not yet copied across all the data from my old machine so I just empty folders to play with at the moment.  I moved all the My Documents/pictures/etc files for the e: drive by changing the location in the properties of the folder.

    However, I can't do the same with public folders.  If I right click on the folder, click Properties, then location, it's like I can't change C:\Users\Public\... but it does not change

    No idea why, or how I can get around this?

    This is possible thanks to a Directory junction that can redirect to a new location of the Public folder.

    First create a new folder on E:\ and maybe you want to call it Public.

    Go to Cmd prompt as administrator.

    All copy existing public folders to the new folder created using the command
    Robocopy /MIR %Systemdrive%\Users\Public E:\Public     (or any name that you used for public folders on E :)

    You need robocopy as he takes care of hidden files, etc., especially if you have the recorded TV folder in public folders.

    Once the copy is transferred, you must delete the existing public folder and create a junction in his place. To do this, boot into Safe Mode as an administrator and remove the public content and file inviting again by running Cmd as administrator. To remove the Public folder:

    RmDir /s /q %SYSTEMDRIVE%\Users\Public

    After creating the new folder location and remove the existing public folder, now is time to create a Directory junction of audiences with the following folders:

    Mklink /J %Systemdrive%\Users\Public E:\Public                         (or any name you named the folder opublic on E:\)

    for example: mklink /dC:\Users\Public E:\Public   

    Now, all that is intended for the original Public folder gets directed to the new location.
    I hope this helps.

    Firefox running on the latest version of Fedora, after a few minutes of use, Firefox becomes unable to access many Web sites.

  • Access files from the file Explorer ftp

    However, if I try to select a file in the LabVIEW ftp folder, it won't let me do. In control of path, I can navigate to the location of the file in the ftp folder, but when I hit OK after selecting the file, the dialog box closes.

    Is it possible to access the file in the folder ftp LabVIEW?

    Thank you

    Ritesh

    I'm reasonably sure that Windows has built the "wrappers" appropriate around the FTP protocol to allow a "drag-and-drop' and network 'folder '.  If you want to do an FTP transfer, there is a series of FTP functions (look in Communications data under protocols, FTP).  You will need to do part of the substance low level yourself (Windows"does it for you", but LabVIEW "" allows you to do it by yourself).
