In short, for some unexplained reason XP changed the ownership
settings of a group of JPGS in an external HD. Not all JPGS, just
those in one specific folder. I guess it happened when, upon trying
to view those images thru slideshow-software, the software seemed
to choke. I moved the images to another location in that same HD
and that resulted in the images being not only unviewable but un-
eraseable. All other JPGS on that HD continued to work fine, though.
Later, back on another computer (Win2K), I searched the internet
and came upon an article about "How to take ownership of a file
or folder in XP". It seems XP is automatically set to something
called "Simple File" sharing. Anyway, once I changed the files'
ownership, they became viewable.
So, perhaps XP file ownership/sharing is the problem too in your case?
Hmmmm...I've had a report or two that sounds similar, and now I'm
wondering if this explains it.
Sounds like voodoo, but voodoo worth knowing about. Where can I learn
more? Should I just Google "How to take ownership of a file or folder
in XP", or was there a resource you found especially useful?
