Hi all,
I'll try to keep this short and as detailed as I can...
We run in a Netware v5.0 environment where users have the usual 'H' drive where they save their files and where WIn2000Pro and WinXPPro (WindowsNT 5.0/5.1 Workstation Profile) profiles get created the first time they log into a W2k/XP workstation by default. These users use Roaming Profiles through Netware settings and are not logging into a Windows domain.
After a new user has successfully logged onto the network and the W2k or WinXP workstation, I make them Administrators of the local machine. I also change the Properties of the My Documents folder on the desktop to point to the My Documents folder on their network 'H' drive so they can get their files and junk wherever they sit. They alsready have My Documents folders on their 'H' drives that were created when they were using Win98 workstations before I took them away for the new W2k/XP workstations.
The problem I'm having is with them being able to DELETE certain files from their own 'H' drives. It seems to only affect Windows .WAV files, of all things! They run an application that lets them listen to recorded audio from a voice recording system and then they Save As the desired audio clip as a .WAV file, usually on their 'H' drive.... in any folder they choose. Not just their My Documents folder.
Now, they are Administrators of their local machines, have all Effective Rights to their own \users\username (H) drives, but when they right-click on a .WAV file on their networked drive they get "Access Denied or Disk Full Error" messages!
I've also seen a message stating "The File or a Portion of the File has Been Locked By It's Parent Application" or something VERY close to that and it won't let them delete the .WAV files!
Since Windows Media Player is the default player in W2k and WinXP, that it what they use to listen to these saved .WAV files, and that's what the files are associated with.
Has anyone ever heard of such a thing? What am I missing? I've ruled out Netware rights because they have Supervisor as well as Erase, Modify... all of them. It keeps pointing back to Windows or Media Player itself!
It doesn't seem to happen with Word, Excel, Access, etc. files.
HELP!! Thanks for any pointers folks!!
Joe
