Vista folder permission

[nihil]

Hmmm................

Vista doesn't trust boyboy400, and has encrypted the files for him .... that's what the green filenames means

Please try this:

1. Right click on file
2. Select: Properties > Advanced
3. Uncheck "encrypt contents to secure data"
4. Try to access file

Now, I might be completely wrong in this particular case but I have seen several similar ones. It is to do with incompatibilities between Mac OS-X and Vista.

OS-X has a built-in compression utility and Vista has a decompression one............ they don't play nicely together, and Vista encrypts the files when it decompresses them.

The solution is to use third party compression/decompression utilities and set them as the default application so that they get used when you double click to open.

boyboy400, if that isn't the answer then please let us know because I am intrigued............the green names certainly means "encrypted", but why doesn't it ask you for a password?

That's what makes me suspect the OS-X/Vista incompatibility bug. Try unpacking the folder with WinZip or WinRar.
