No acces with administrator-rights
HI,
My NAS (ReadyNAS 102) is working fine, but there is one item I can't resolve.
From my desktop I have full acces to my NAS. With every application I can open and edit every file on the NAS.
But when I use a program that has administrator-rights on my desktop, no files on the NAS are accessible.
In fact: I have made networkdisks of my shares and they are visible (and accessible) in Total Commander.
But when I open Total Commander "as administrator" there is a red cross on the networkdrives and I can't acces them.
Same: I can open and edit all files with Photoshop. But when I open Photoshop "as administrator" it cannot find the NAS.
How do I make the NAS accessible for administrator?

This problem is caused by User Account Control on Windows 7 and Vista (see http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/libr ... 10%29.aspx).
To fix the problem, you must add a new registry value:- Click Start, type regedit in the Start programs and files box, and then press ENTER.
- Locate and then right-click the registry subkey HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System.
- Point to New, and then click DWORD Value.
- Type EnableLinkedConnections, and then press ENTER.
- Right-click EnableLinkedConnections, and then click Modify.
- In the Value data box, type 1, and then click OK.
- Exit Registry Editor, and then restart the computer.
