Guest DavidS Posted July 22, 2008 Posted July 22, 2008 Have workstation with XP SP2 installed. When a non-admin users power's up the machine from cold-start and attempts to login, the file share is not accessible - getting "\\FileServ\Users\<username>\<folder> is not accessible. You may not have permission to use this network resource. Access is denied. Network path was not found." Basically, person has permission on the \\FileServ\ server. From the \\FileServ\Users\<username>\PCDesktop - there is a subfolder that is used to populate the desktop icons for user. It's way we handle this for agency and has no issue for over 200 users. I can login this person on another workstation without issue, i.e., from Cold-Start the boot sequence is proper and the desktop is populated from \\FileServ\...\PCDesktop. But for this workstation, during the COLD-START cycle of power / this path is not accessible during the startup process / not sure why. But AFTER the login, if I Right Click and REFRESH my desktop - it's available than. Again, getting the error message in earlier post [when recycle power]. ALSO, this only occurs for non-admin users. What should I look for with this workstation - to see why it doesn't complete Cold+Boot login process here / but on another identical workstation it does. Are there registry keys I can check - is there a reinstall of network resource required etc... [i'm not showing ANY network issues for Admin though - and if I Cold+Boot for Admin, than logoff, login - not issue] - just when I Cold+Boot for <non-admin> user on this machine it gives the message above. Help - ASAP please

Patience, please. This is a peer support newsgroup. We are all just Windows XP users here, helping each other if and when we can. We are not Microsoft employees (not even those of us with "Microsoft MVP" behind our names; that's an honorary title for having provided consistently helpful advice) except for an occasional employee who posts here unofficially on his own time. If you don't get an answer, it can be for a variety of reasons: you may have asked your question poorly and nobody understood, nobody may know the answer, the person who knows the answer may have missed your question, and so on. Or the person who knows the answer (not me, in this case) hasn't seen your message yet. > "DavidS" wrote: > > > Have workstation with XP SP2 installed.

Most big organisations just ghost from a perfect virgin machine anyway. They don't worry about diagnosing these little issues if it takes time. .
Guest DavidS Posted July 28, 2008 Posted July 28, 2008 Re: XP Login Issue with Shared Drive Unreal! Truly axx_inain. Basically, yes it's important. Basically, it's configuration issue - I didn't design XP - and need assistance reviewing registry setup. I guestimate both persons who responded in this newsgroup are younger than 30 and although Windows "guro's" - Please - I've "ghost" my machine for someone else's usage - this is not issue. Maybe some more meaningful responses might help me - but I guess that's not possible either. Send me more b.s. replies please!

Guest DavidS Posted July 28, 2008 Posted July 28, 2008 Re: XP Login Issue with Shared Drive Also if it's such a LITTLE issue - than why can't someone as SMART as you figure it out! I'll go elsewhere - Linux is future for me "DavidS" wrote: > Unreal! > > Truly axx_inain. > > Basically, yes it's important.
