Spotty XP shared places access from Win 7

Topic

New Reply

I have many XP systems and one Win 7 system that I’m trying to use as ‘the one to bind them all.’ Sometimes when trying to copy or open a file/folder from a shared place on an XP system I get the ‘cannot-must have admin permission-access denied’ error popup. I’m just using simple sharing on all the XP systems.

IF I go to the the XP system that brought up the error popup in 7 and add sharing directly to the folder I’m trying to access from 7 then it works fine so I assume sharing works fine and is set up correctly, but 7 seems to miss the hierarchical shared master folder containing the folder I’m trying to access.

So I’m wondering if I’m missing something here that would make it work all the time without having to share the subfolder as well or does Win 7 just occasionally miss the boat and cannonball the water?

Hi Byron,
If you are using XP Pro, have you checked the permissions for your XP folders you want to share on the network?

I’m just using simple sharing on all the XP systems.

Using simple sharing on Pro as I am, where would I check for permissions? All I know about simple sharing are the two ticboxes, one for Share this folder on the network and the other for Allow network users to change my files and I don’t see any difference between the subsidiary shared network folders that work and the ones that don’t, even on the same system (multiple shared folders).
