I use a desktop with XP and a Laptop with Vista on a network. I have set some picture files on the desktop as SHARED. These files can be seen on the Laptop but when opening a file a message comes up, PERMISSION NOT GRANTED TO OPEN THIS FILE.
Can anyone tell me how to give permission and hence open and see the picture?
Thanks again for all the replies. I will look at the open with/ administrator suggestion. However I find it strange that some of the shared picture files open without any trouble, others will not and the error message comes up. By the way the exact wording of the message is
'Photo Gallery cant open this picture because you do not have permission to access this file location'
Ive just tried the right click on the file. 'Open with' gives the photo gallery software as the default program and paint as an alternative, tried paint and the result was just the same. There was no mention of an administrator option.
