| | Can't access external drive with standard user account Hello- I installed an external drive for my son so he can store his music. He is set up as a "standard User" undr my parental controls. He wants to modify the folders and edit things on the external drive but can not do so with out getting administrator permission every time. How can I fix this so he can access his music on the external "K" drive and not have to give "sdministrator permissions every time. thanks for your help -- Brain. |
