Windows 7 Folder Access

Hi Evan

You know, Munitions problem with folder/share access seems to be exactly the same thing I am experiencing, i.e. unticking "Allow anonymous access" and "Everyone" effectively locks me out of the Share, even though I have given myself full Read/Write access. Plus, I do have full administration rights to my WinXP O/S.

I have taken my problem to Netgear Support and got nowhere, they gave up, and so I have to use my NAS box as a one man storage unit.

However, the solution you have given to Munitions may just solve my problem;

Hi Munitions, Please try below setting on your Windows 7, 1. from the run command or from a cmd window run secpol.msc 2. go to “Local Policies” -> “Security Options” -> “Network Security: LAN Manager authentication level” 3. change to “LM and NTLM – use NTLMV2 session security if negotiated” 4. Press the OK button

I will give it a try as soon as I am able to, thanks in advance.

PS. Rather than running secpol, I use "Control Panel", next I double click "Administrative Tools" and then pick up your instructions from No. 2.
