Sharing "Program Files" and "Windows" folders
On my network, the server with a tape backup is on a Windows ME machine. I
have Windows XP Pro on my notebook with NTFS. I want the server to be able to back up my computer's hard drive in its entirety. I have been successful in getting the server to access almost all of my folders. It, however, cannot access the Program Files and Windows folders. I would like to have a complete backup of the entire hard drive. (Also, windows explorer on the server is not able to access those folders either.) Is it possible to get the server backup to read those folders? Thanks. Steve |

Sharing "Program Files" and "Windows" folders
Hi Steve,
Thank you for posting! I belive that Steve Winogard's suggestion is helpful. However, I have some supplemental information. Please follow Steve Winograd's steps to disable Simple File Sharing. Then right click "Windows" folder, choose "Sharing and Security" from the context menu. Make sure that it has the same permission as others which can be accessed from the server. Also follow the above steps to check the permission of "Program Files" folder. I hope that it is helpful. Have a nice day!

Sharing "Program Files" and "Windows" folders
I have been struggeling with sharing the program files for some time now on
our new XP Pro machines. I have Un-checked "Use simple file sharing (recommended)" but still can not access these files. I even tried sharing the sub-directories in the "Program Files" folder and still get the "access denied" error. Have not yet installed SP2, is that the issue here ? Any help would be greatly appreciated. "Steve Winograd [MVP]" wrote: In article , "Steve" wrote: On my network, the server with a tape backup is on a Windows ME machine.

Open My Computer and click Tools | Folder Options | View. 2. Scroll to the end of the advanced settings. 3. Un-check "Use simple file sharing (recommended)". -- Best Wishes, Steve Winograd, MS-MVP (Windows Networking) Please post any reply as a follow-up message in the news group for everyone to see.

SP2 isn't the issue. -- Best Wishes, Steve Winograd, MS-MVP (Windows Networking) Please post any reply as a follow-up message in the news group for everyone to see.
