So select "WMPNetworkSvc" and click Edit...... When I get to 'To change permissions' and c. Edit I see nothing about 'WMPNetworkSvs'. What do you see in the box labeled "Group or user names"? Read all the entries. I see: Permission for System Allow Deny Full Control √ Modify √ Read & execute √ List folder Contents √ Read √ Write √ Special permissions √ No, in the box above that labeled "Group or user names", where you have "System" selected, you need to select "WMPNetworkSvc" instead. The only entry above Group or User names is: C:\Users\Emrys Davies\Pictures\Scanned Documents The only entries below Group or User names, other than what I have already copied, a Emrys Davies (EmrysDavies-PC\Emrys Davies) Administrators (EmrysDavies-PC\Administrators) You say select "WMPNetworkSvc". Do you mean delete something and replace it with "WMPNetworkSvc" If so, delete what? What effect on what will that have? |

It is a piece of furniture which I will have to come to terms with and I will do just that. Thanks a lot for your help and patience. |
