From: J Tinsby on 26 Jan 2010 18:21 Hello, I got my wireless network working and I can share files between the two machines, one running XP Pro the other XP Home. I sent some files from the XP Home machine to the Pro, that worked fine but now I can't delete the files on the Home machine. I went into safe mode and looked at getting permission as admin to delete these files ( thye show up with an icon that looks like it's connected to a pipe, I assume that's the network). I haven't a clue how to take over permission of these files even after having read the MS help files on the subject.. 'parent | child' ACE etc. might as well be Greek to me :( Is there a guide on the 'net somewhere that can walk me through taking over these files so I can delete them? Regards, J Tinsby

What happens when you try to delete it on PC A? Please quote any error message in full. -- Lem Apollo 11 - 40 years ago: http://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/apollo/40th/index.html

From: Jack [MVP-Networking] on 26 Jan 2010 19:52 Hi It depends on what application you use to Copy the Files. In some programs Copy means putting an access icon on the destination computer but Not actually copying the files. Make sure that you use Copy to, rather then just Copy, and then check the destination computer that file indeed is copied. Jack (MS, MVP-Networking).
