Hi CHuck

I don't know if you've fixed this yet, but I've had the same sort of thing
before trying to run a setup routine.

I got round it in two ways

1. Copy the exe to the local machine and run it.
2. Map the network drive it's on (temporarily) to a drive letter.

Not sure why but I get "Access denied" even when I try to copy these
..exe files from the remote (Windows XP Home) computer. I believe it has
something to do with the fact that they are in my Documents & Settings
folder on the Local (Windows XP Pro) computer. I'm beginning to think
that simple file sharing is not going to be enough for me, yet when I
disable it and try to set permissions (on the XP Pro computer), I see no
way to set network permissions (for remote computer users), only the
local computer users.

I tried that and I still get Access Denied when trying to copy these
files in my Documents and Settings folder.

To be a little clearer about what I'm trying to do: Long ago I created a
folder called "Install files" under My Documents on my only (at the
time) computer (XP Pro) - and that is where I keep all of my downloaded
program install files. These are what I want to access from my new/used
remote (Xp Home) computer. I can run the .zip install files form the
remote, but I cannot copy the .exe install files. I keep getting access
denied. If I move them to another folder (i.e., C:/Temp), then I can
copy them.

I'm certainly confused by some of this home networking stuff.

After you move them to the temp folder can you run them?

Yes. And here's what I mean more precisely. If I move the exe file to
C:/temp (and share it) on my local computer (XP Pro), I can then
double-click and execute the file from the remote computer - over the
network.

It seems to be something about the sharing files in the Documents and
Settings folder.

I found a page last night (Googling) that said without disabling Simple
File Sharing, you cannot copy files over the network from Documents and
Settings (or the Windows Folder). Of course, I can not find that page
again today.

Chris, you've been posting my name in EVERY ONE OF YOUR POSTS ALL OVER

It sounds like a permissions issue, I don't have that issue on mine. Check
the security of the document and settings folder see if your account has the
proper permissions.

Without really understanding what I'm doing, I've gotten this working.
I disabled Simple File Sharing on my XP Pro PC and looked at Security
for the folder that works (C:/temp) and for the "Install Files" folder
(in Documents and Settings) - both Shared. Seeing that C:/temp had an
entry for "Everyone" (with Read&Execute, List Folder Contents, and Read
permission enabled), I clicked on Add in the Install Files folder (in
Documents and Settings) and added "Everyone," which appeared along with
the same permissions settings (Read&Execute, List Folder Contents, and
Read permission).

Now I can copy and even execute the shared install files (.exe) from the
remote machine (XP Home) - even if I re-enable Simple File Sharing.

Problem solved.

..... It seems to me that when I shared the folder in Documents and
Settings, the "Everyone" entry should have been added by Simple File
Sharing, but for some reason, it was not. At least I have it working now.

Thanks for the help .... and for hanging in there with me.

But that would have been wrong, Sir James. Like I said, when I
double-clicked, I got absolutely nothing.

Because nothing happened ..... duh.

Later, when I tried to copy and paste, I got "Access denied." You can
read, can't you? I made that quite clear. After googling that error
message (with network , remote, shared) and listening to the advice I
received here, I found a way to fix my problem.

I'm not even going to bother addressing (or quoting) your irrelevant and
asinine rant. Rather ... I suggest you remove the burr from your ass and
start your day over.

Thanks for the help ô¿Ô¬

then I misunderstood you, though you really weren't very clear - on a
number of points, from the beginning..

No problem. I am very very rude - to most people.
