Re: Vista Offline Files "Access Deined" Problem

Hi,

I have the same problem. File are initially stored on a XP ... with FAT file
system (yes, it still exists ! for Win9x multi boot)

Before, with another XP, it worked great. Now, Lots of "junk temporary
files" appear like this {D22414D4-BD25-4709-BB95-2071770FB0C4}.tmp in the
folders, but the synchronisation failed with "access denied".

It looks as if the synchronization is able to write the new version on the
file on the disk, but fail to overwrite the old version.

Thanks for any idea,


Laurent
