| | folders on XP partition I have installed Vista Beta 2 32-bit. While trying to gain access to My Music and My Pictures folders from my XP partition, I have now made them unavailable on XP. The permissisons feature was confusing for me. Now, when I boot to XP, those folders show empty, with access denied. I can access them from Vista, but would prefer access from both, or at least back to XP. I can access the Vista equivalent folders from XP. Any ideas would really be appreciated! JEL |

| | Re: folders on XP partition It's possibly because your My Music folder on XP is within your Documents area - try changing the permissions to "Everyone" has read-write-full control, boot into Vista and see if that helps. -- Zack Whittaker » ZackNET Enterprises: www.zacknet.co.uk » MSBlog on ResDev: www.msblog.org » Vista Knowledge Base: www.vistabase.co.uk » This mailing is provided "as is" with no warranties, and confers no rights.
