XP/2000 Properties
My office has some computers running XP and some running
2000. We use the "comment" field in the file's properties. If we try to view the properties on a machine running XP they are not there. Is there a way to make XP see the properties from a file on a 2000 machine? |

XP/2000 Properties
In ,
Byte typed: Are the 2000 machines using NTFS file systems or FAT32? Are the WinXP machines set to use NTFS or FAT32? They should be the same to recognize their file systems. No, this isn't at all true. First, both Windows 2000 and Windows XP can recognize any combination of NTFS, FAT32, FAT16, and FAT12, regardless of what file system it is installed on. There is no inability of a machine using NTFS to see a FAT32 drive or vice versa. Second, even if you were dealing with two operating systems where this would be an issue (for example, Windows XP and Windows 98), there is still no inability for the Windows 98 system to see files on an NTFS drive across a network, which is the situation he's describing; it's data that's moved across the network, not the underlying file system. -- Ken Blake - Microsoft MVP Windows: Shell/User Please reply to the newsgroup |
