Re: Cannot rename files on mapped drive

On the server the files are located in "D:\files\*.*"
"D:" is a partition on the physical disk that also contains "C:".
The folder "files" is shared and on the network clients that folder is
mapped as drive "Z:\"
The OS of the server is XP Pro. The OS of the other clients that have no
problems is XP Pro also. The OS of the client that has problems is Vista
Business.

I don't know (how do I see the difference?). I just shared the folder for
anyone on the network (no user is asked to log in to see the files). Every
computer uses the same workgroup name.

If this does not answer your question, please ask again.

[Bjarne:]
As stated above, users do not have to log in to the network to access the
files. Each user account is an administrator on the local machine (but not on
the server).

It does not matter which machine created the files. Even files and folders
created by the Vista machine are affected.
