Why Do Custom Folder Icons Not Appear on ReadyNAS When Browsed From Windows Explorer on LAN?
ReadyNAS Ultra 4 running OS6.6.1 Windows 7 Home computers browsing to NAS using Windows Explorer over wireless LAN NAS folders are backed up regularly to mirror those on a separate desktop compute...
How are you copying them from one NAS to the other. There are some differences in the meanings of permissions between Windows and SMB, and that could be a part of the problem,
I do the backups using GoodSync. What's weird is that sometimes the NAS folders display icons just fine and other times they don't.
As I do more research, it seems it may have something to do with the NAS not storing file attribute flags (such as System, Read Only, and Hidden) which prompt Windows to then read the Desktop.ini folder and obey the commands inside of it.
Some have suggested modifying the "smb.conf" on a NAS in the [Global] section by adding the line:
store dos attributes = yes
I'm an amateur and I'm not sure if there's an equivalent for a ReadyNAS.
