Leveraging the attrib command is either a learning experiment or something has gone really wrong. For the purposes of the OPs problem, his solution lies elsewhere and not necessarily with folder permissions. A bad configuration perhaps that forces Mame32 to fall back to defaults. I have a vague tickling memory of running into a similar problem but the solution escapes me at the moment. Was it that one had to spool out the default configuration within MAME? Crap, it was so long ago. BTW, ark_ader did you take a peek at the KB article I linked to? It explains all about the folder behavior with the Windows GUI in there. --- End quote --- No but I will after I get some sleep. NT folder permission documentation is sleepy stuff to read. When I passed my MSCE on NT4 all those years ago I was very much into the bones of the OS. Now I need 5 candy bars to get the energy up. :laugh2: As I was about to sign off I had a thought. If the drive was from another machine and it was formatted with NTFS, wouldn't the security on the drive have to be taken ownership from the new NT? Thus making the old NTFS drive read only? IS that what happened IG-88? Hmmm I think I'm babbling now. I'm off. :laugh2: |
