I have read "Most" of your blog of Pchuck's Network and it is quite impressive.
May I please ask the question again?
Environment
p2p server with Winxppro SFS shared directory c:\users\don\my Documents\Word
or Excel or any other sub directory.
The xp clients have no problems.
The vista business clients can creat a file in word, excel, notepad, or
wordpad and call that file up and change the data and save it again.
The Vista clients only can not using vista windows explorer rename a file or
move a file. The Vista clients can not rename a directory, or move a
directory.
The following error occurs - In vista's windows explorer if you try to
create a file, rename an existing file, or rename an existing directory.
"\\WinXPProPeertoPeerServer\user\My Doucments\folder does not exist. The
file may have been moved or deleted." " Do you want to create it?"
Why are the XP clients able to rename and move files and directories when
the vista clients can't?
Thank you
Don
