Vista Forums - View Single Post - How do you use command line in shortcuts now ?

06-29-2006

I get a lot of things in Vista that I see 'Access denied' including the
network when I try to adjust, add, or remove any files into my public folder
when I'm on another computer, even with the file sharing turned on and it is
set to allow things to be changed, but I still see 'access denied'. I've
also seen 'access denied' on a few of my own bitmaps that I wanted to
adjust.
