I moved my My Documents folder to drive D on a Windows XP Pro desktop. I
have hundreds of folders in Drive D - some in My Documents; others, subfolders of the root. D is strictly a data drive. I networked the PC with a new laptop and wish to copy all of D to the laptop. Vista denies me access to some folders. How do I shere every folder on the desktop's D drive without having to individually change the sharing for each folder? |

Open the properties of the folder. Make sure the user have read and write in
the sharing. In the Security tab, click Advanced. Select the user and click Edit. Check the Replace all existing inheritable permission son all descendants with inheritable permissions from this object". Please post back with the result. -- Bob Lin, MS-MVP, MCSE & CNE Networking, Internet, Routing, VPN Troubleshooting on http://www.ChicagoTech.net How to Setup Windows, Network, VPN & Remote Access on http://www.HowToNetworking.com "newbie" wrote in message . ..

I tried doing what you suggested but it didn't work.
FYI, when I open the properties folder Security tab, Advanced button, the "Replace permission entries on all child objects with entries shown here that apply to child objects" checkbox is there. When I select the user and click Edit, the checkbox in that dialog box says, "Apply permissions to objects and/or containers within this container only". I tried checking it and unchecking it. Neither option seems to make D "accessible". When I click on "D" from the laptop's network folder I continue to get the "\\Desktop\d is not accessible..." error. "Robert L.

I'm embarrassed to admit it, but I don't know what you mean by "use cacls to
check the permissions". "Robert L. (MS-MVP)" wrote in message ... You may want to use cacls to check the permissions. This link may help.

I get the following response from the ICACLS command:
Access is denied. Successfully processed 0 files; Failed processing 1 files Is there a straightforward way to simply reset both drives on the Windows XP Professional PC to allow Administrators Full Control and Users Read access? Why is this so complicated? XP and Vista are both marketed as ideal operating systems for home networking. The reality does not live up to the hype. "Jeffrey Randow" wrote in message ...
