Read Only error message on networkToday I reformatted the harddrive on my main computer. I did not use the user
accounts that I had used before, I just set it up with one user that is also (obviously) the administrator. I did not like the way it named the folder so I created a new one (based on the Microsoft website advice), made it administrator and deleted the old one. I get an error message that the folder is read-only and I can't save files to the harddrive. I could do all this just fine before. When I look at the folder sharing options, there is a green box in the "Read Only", if I trun it off, click OK then open it again, the "Read Only" is selected again. Now, I have another harddrive in the same machine, same setup on the "Read Only", same settings to the sharing and I can save to it just as before. I did not reformat the second hard drive. Any ideas? I'm pulling my hair out on this one. -- Gary

When you created a new account, it recieved a new Security ID. The user name is just an alias for the SID, hence you now are not the owner of the files and folders. Jim
