No Access to Folder shortcuts
Setup: laptop with Vista, mini-tower with XP. Tower connected to internet.
Laptop networked to desk machine with crossover cable. Problem. For no apparent reason, suddenly on the Vista machine I get not available, access denied messages when trying to use the system generated shorcuts in the folders, even though I only had one non-password protected user who is the administrator. I can access the shortcuts that are on the laptop's desktop okay, it's just the shorcuts that are in the folders. Nothing I do changes this - I can't change the shared settings (including advanced sharing) for the folders, it has no effect. Greg

No Access to Folder shortcuts
Greg,
You have chosen to view protected system files. That means you can see them, not necessarily change them, they are protected. You do not report the name of the folders you are having problems with, however if they are dimmed and have the arrow in lower left corner, they are not actually folders but internal pointers for compatibility with older programs that were incorrectly written.

Why has no one answered my question?
