Thanks George, but if that's the case then I shall have to get a sighty to
log on as admin account. I have Hal installed and it only works on the
account you install it with. I dont fancy trying to do real admin tasks
using narrator!
Carol, I am using classic view for start menu and folders.
Cheers,

Hi Mark,
Tricky to say without being able to see how things are set
up locally. Security with XP Pro can be rather a nightmare.
Do you have a "administrator" log in? This might allow you
to investigate and change read/write permissions for
individual users, whether they have admin rights or not.
You could also look at the Security option for the shortcuts
which might give you some clues here.
George.

George,
I mus be in as a user with admin rights or Hal would not
install. It seems
strange to suggest that it will allow you to create
shortcuts but not to
rename them?

Hi Mark,
As this is essentially XP Professional, I suspect you will
have to log in as a user will full administrative rights.
George.

Subject: [access-uk] XP folders and shortcuts
Hi all.
Just moved to XP ona new Toshiba laptop and have a few
basic problems.
Folder views. I have gone into control panel after setting
up a folder with
details view and view files by type. The button to set all
folders as the
present view is disabled. As I want all my views to be in
this format, is
there a way to get this button enabled? I have tried
resetting all to
defaults but that just puts it all back to a list view. The
machine will
not remember the folder settings for the usb flash drive
either.
Shortcuts. I have sent several shortcuts to the desktop
using the context
key and selecting the send to option. If I change the anme
of this shortcut
on the desktop it will no longer work on the shortcut key I
have assigned
it. Returning the shortcut name to its original name then
allows the
shortcut key to operate again. This is particularly
annoying as all my
shortcuts are now labelled with the words 'shortcut to' in
front of the name
I actualy want for them. This means I cannot press d for
documents for
instance. I have to press s over and over as it steps
through selecting the
shortcuts on the desktop.
Any ideas greatly appreciated.
