>Looking at the properties tab on the drives, I notice a difference. The old

>content of the "Sharing" tab is also different.  The FRESH* boxes have a
>simple view with two boxes named "Local sharing and security" and "Network
>sharing and security", wile the old boxes have a more advanced view
>containing a button to set Permissions on the shared folder.

>I must have ignored one setting controlling the ability to set Permissions,
