Windows XP File Sharing (Subdirectory problem)

[Doobie]

I have a folder that I want to share on my computer plus all subdirectories on my local network. This folder has about 100 folders plus files. I have access to this folder and I can se all the files the main folder has but there are about 20 folders that I cant have access to, when I try to access it, I get an error message saying I don’t have privileges.

When I share the main folder shouldn’t changes affect subdirectories as well? Why do you think its not affecting some of the folders?

I have tried making a new share and moving files there but I still have access to everything except these few folders.

Any ideas?

Yes, the sharing privldeges affect all the subfolders, unless they are password protected, and I *think* encrypted and compressed. If you are using a different O/S to browse (ie 9x systems), folder/file names may be a problem.

If the attributes mark the subfolders as read-only, there will be no write privledges unless unchecked, or checked then unchecked on the main folder.

Same OS (winxp) and i just have it set to read and no write... i have tried giving full privileges but its still a no go.

I have tried simple file sharing and advanced...

Ok its not showing the affects.... if I use advanced mode it doesnt show guest acount.... I added it and it works now but it still a lot of folders that I have to check one by one... that is really gonna suck.
