I'm having a problem with this. I've configured OneNote to keep all the
data
files in a different folder: E:\OneNote Data. The entire E: partition is
shared. However, one of my OneNote subfolders has decided on its own
that it
won't share. When I try to copy files from that subfolder across my
network
to another machine, whether I do it manually via My Network Places or via
a
sync program I've been using for quite a while, I get the standard
warning
that Windows displays when trying to access an unshared folder. A while
ago
I deleted and re-created this subfolder (using the same folder name); it
worked for a few weeks, then the newly re-created subfolder again changed
itself to an unshareable condition. I need to know what's causing this
and
how to prevent it. Any thoughts?
It's possible that this particular folder has gotten it's security
settings set differently from all the other folders on that drive. Make
sure you are not using simple file sharing {Windows Explorer ; Tools /
Folder Options ; <View> ; Advanced Settings ; [ ] Use simple file
sharing} (at the very bottom of the list). Now check the settings on the
security tab of the properties for that folder.
It's also possible that you may have chosen a folder name that Windows
has in some hidden list of protected folders. I'm not saying it is
likely, or that I have seen it happen. But I have seen stranger things.
Try using a different name.
Is any of the computers on your network anything other than Windows XP
Pro or Windows server. (Media Edition is not Pro as far as I can tell.)
If so, try disconnecting those PC's from the network fixing the problem
again, and leaving those PC's off the network for a couple of weeks. I
have never seen peer-to-peer networking work reliably on any Windows
other than Win XP Pro or when connecting to a server. The other versions
of Windows eventually hose up the browse table and won't connect any
more.
