ReadyNAS Duo and Windows 7 permissions - user "lost"
Hi, I'm running a ReadyNAS Duo with Windows 7 Home Premium. Never had any problems with the Duo - it's given years of good service as a picture/ music server. I've been doing some housekeeping on t...
Stephen, thanks for the reply. [EDITED] The files are not in private user folders. They are in a share called "media server" and the files are in folders that I have mapped to Windows. All of the files that appear to be affected appear in Windows explorer in a mapped [edited] drive named ("T:"). Both myself and my wife can see these files using our respective laptops. We can drop files into the media share from the laptop (e/g/ new music tracks), read them and point media apps to them i.e. all my FLAC files for Squeezebox reside here, my MP3s which I use with phones etc.
The problem is just that I cannot delete / move files that I've put onto the NAS because of the user permissions problem described in the OP. I suspect that the files I can operate on are the ones created in my current user profile. The ones I can't, i.e. where permission is being requested by Windows, are ones created in an old profile.
Hope this clarifies the problem. Does it change anything I should try in your solution?
