I expesienced the stranges thing. I have a laptop and a
desktop computer. Both with XP Pro. I use an external
FireWire disk that I use on both the computers. All files
created before reinstallation on June 20th are accessable
on both. But all new files or folders will not be accessed
on the machine that didn't create them.

If I create a folder on the laptop, the desktop can't
access it and vice versa. I believe this is a security
issue and that there is a setting I don't know about. Both
computers are logged on as administrators.
 
you probably installed a new service pack, which probably
screwed up your security settings. One of the recent
patches messes up almost everything, resetting the darn
outlook express checkbox and several other settings.
Apparently, it is extemely difficult to add in a q/a
session to the patches, something like:

Would you like to block *ALL* attachments on *ALL* email
for *ALL* of your users? (check yes or no)
 
I haven't installed anythig different on those two
computers. They are equal. If there's a patch installed
that blocs access of a different PC than the one making
the files - is there any way to edit the rights?
