A power user try to open a zip file from a share folder from other user. The
share folder has full permission but an error message access deny to open zip
appears.
Windows XP Proffesional, same domain, full permissions to open the share
folder.
As local administrator no problem.

So the share permissions are what, exactly? and the NTFS permissions are
what, exactly?
Where is this share? I'm presuming it's on your server(s)
The fact that the user is a 'power user' on his own computer won't have
anything to do with this, note.
 
Dear Lanwench,

The share folder belong to one other user of the same domain and the
permissions are full access.
The strange is that any other files (for example xls,doc) are accesible, but
not the zip files.

Thank you.

So -this is a domain user's local My Docs folder, and you're trying to share
it with another domain user on the same PC?

Generally, I don't do that. Each user has their own folder, which I don't
permit anyone other
than admins & that user to access -- and there are also multiple "shared"
folders on the network for general use/transfer/whatnot.

I don't recommend that you store any data on the workstations when you have
a server (esp. a
domain) - use folder redirection for My Documents (and possibly also
Desktop/App Data) so that nothing important lives on that workstation's hard
drive. You can also use roaming profiles although that isn't usually as
important.

If you copy the zip file from this folder, to the other user's folder, on
the machine itself (as an admin) can they open the file then?

For a while now Windows has been programmed to believe that zip files are
naughty; it won't let you open them under various circumstances - I'm not sure
exactly how it makes the decision whether to allow or not, but in this case it
is probably the fact that the zip file is on a remote machine that makes it
refuse. It may be possible to override this decision by adding the remote share
to the IE trusted sites list, or some such nonsense.

I suggest you try using third-party freeware such as InfoZip's WiZ instead of
the Windows built-in support for reading zip files:

Dear Lanwench,

the share folder is in the root (for example c:\share) partition. The second
workstation cannot copy "only" the zip files.

Dear Harry,

I've tryied and third-party freeware, but nothing good happend.


Thank you both!!!
