Afer running the SiPix Camera Wizard for the first time=20
the folder =ABShared Documents=BB was renamed to =ABDocuments=BB.
The technicians at FaxLink Peripherals, Inc. deny their=20
software is responsible, claiming it is Arc Soft's fault.
The assert that PhotoImpression caused the problem.

This program was already installed, and ran without=20
anything like this occuring before.

Oddly enough their (SiPix) installer didn't notice the=20
previously installed copy (same verion number) of the=20
program. Nor=20
did the "XP-compatible" PhotoWizard (SiPix) recognize the=20
multi-user file structure, adding the folder =ABMy Camera=BB=20
to the (new) shared folder =ABDocuments=BB. This makes no=20
sense. It is my camera; it is not shared. Why would it=20
not be called =ABShared Camera=BB, then?

Right before the change the log shows an unsigned driver=20
installed by the SiPix camera wizard. Perhaps the=20
problem? I intend to use this sofware only on the=20
old Win98 machine. This seems to be the type of=20
directory organization it is expecting.

Errors with write permission from user accounts, registry=20
errors like:

Sound recorder: Error updating registry.

ColorDeskPhoto:"Error updating registry.
Please try using regedit."

"Access to C:\Documents and Settings\All=20
Users\Documents\My Pictures\At_Max's.jpg was denied."


File permissions are not set to shared, but the start=20
menu list it as the shared documents folder.

Q: Would the registry troubles be fixed if the=20
programs were run with the accounts set to=20
administator status?=20


I thought that renaming it would solve the issue.=20

From the cmd prompt:

cd "c:\documents and settings\documents"
move documents "Shared Documents"

But the start menu couldn't find any folder. It didn't=20
work. After things were reversed teh folder appeared as=20
before.

I thought that this might work:

From =ABSet Program Access and Defaults=BB:

1. Remove from start menu.

Q1: Should I remove any access permissions first?



From the cmd prompt:

2. Rename the directory/folder by move.



From =ABSet Program Access and Defaults=BB:

3. Add to start menu.

4. Also, I should set permissions: Read/Write:All Users.

Q: How is this done on the Home edition? Is it on=20
the program access interface used to define the=20
start=20
menu (etc)?
Does this cover setting up the shared documents=20
folder:

I've been through the MS Knowlege Base articles and=20
helpfiles but have no definite answer to this problem.

Please advise as to the likely outcome of the proceedures=20
above. Any advice would be appreciated.

Thank you,
