Folks,

Our File server is running w2k. We have pc's running a mixture of XPSP2 and Vista Business.

When in Vista I go to a users Documents and change the location to the network drive on the file server it works but acts very wierd i.e. In vista when you go to the network drive in my computer where the username should be it shows documents instead and then inside that it has all the docs.

When I login to the w2k file server and go to the users directory the ones running Vista there username does not show up correctly but more if it is not recognised. The file atttributes are set to read-only even after I change them. The security settings are set correctly for each user. ANyone have any ideas?

Try the "Questions" forum; the "Discussion" forum is for matters of general discussion, not specific problems in search of a solution.

Post problems such as this to the "Question" forum, rather than the "Discussion" forum. There are those who specifically seek out problems in need of a solution, and that's where they go to look for such.

Additionally there are the benefits that:

1) The "Questions" forum provides for your feedback, by way of your being able to mark "helpful" responses as such. This does not necessarily mean that a given response contained the complete solution to your problem, but only that it served to guide you toward it. This is intended to serve as an aid to those who may in the future have a problem similar to yours, so that they might have a ready source of reference available, thereby perhaps obviating the need for them to repeat questions previously asked and answered.

2) The revised TR makes it quite difficult to find both "Discussions" and "Questions" that have not had a fairly recent post, owing to some functions comingling them in the listings. By keeping each type in their respective forums, it is easier for all to find what they are looking for.
