Everytime I plugin my portable hard drive I need to create a new share and
set the permissions. Is there anyway to have vista remember the share so everytime I mount the drive it sets this automatically. |

Hi
When the Drive is plugged in Drill to Control Panel, Computer Management. Click on Disk Management, right click on the removable drive, and change its drive letter assignment to high letter (like N . By doing so the Drive would not compete on the lower letter and would assume always the same identity. Set the share for the new letter. http://www.ezlan.net/example/dsk_mang.jpg Jack (MS, MVP-Networking) "Bill Volz" wrote in message ...

There are 3 things you need to do. 1. Make sure file sharing is enabled in
the networking and sharing cetner. 2. Right click the directory go to properties and create a share, give it the correct share permissions. 3. Choose the security tab and set the file permission for the directory/files. If you are not using the everyone account to give open access try to add the share as a mapped network drive on the other machine, when doing this choose the "use different user" option and type in the remote credentials. Sometimes I will get an access denied error when I try to access are secure share without mapping it first. I think instead of asking for new credentials like it should vista often try's to use the local account. "3f032" wrote in message ...
