You need to explain that using a lot more words. In particular: What were you using to view the drives, what happens when you try to view them, and what machine were you trying to view them from? My picture of what's going on at your end is woefully incomplete, but as a first guess I'm wondering if you copied some permissions from another computer to the local computer, overwriting what was there, and that you were copying to the root of the local computer's local C: drive, and thus blew away the permissions that let you list the root directory. -- Ben ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to [email protected] with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin
