I am using vista 64bit ULTIMATE on 3 computers that i have on my network. On every computer i have one drive shared. If everything is OK computer works like this 1. I click on network 2. I click on the shared computer 3. I click on shared drive 4. I get a dialog to put in username and password ... i do that and everything works perfect. Now i have a problem doing the same procedure. 1. I go to NETWORK 2. I go to computer name 3. I click on shared drive 4. Computer takes me directly to this drive, but all the files are marked with X and i cant do anything with them. No dialog is appearing to ask me for username and password. Why? Why cant i do nothing with these files Where is the problem, since evrything else is working and i can browse internet and my other computer on network with no problem.

Hi, First, I suggest you clear cached credentials to test the problem. Check Control Panel> User Accounts> [your account]> Manage network passwords. Please remove all the cached credentials if possible. If the issue still persists, could you please collect a screenshot for the problem? Thank you for your cooperation.

Hi Jaka25, Thank you for your cooperation. After checking the screenshots, I have the following information for you. Regarding the file icon issue, the issue mostly can be caused by the files have O file attribute. For more information about O file attribute, please refer to the following links: NTFS http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NTFS (Attributes: Read-only, hidden, system, archive, not content indexed, off-line, temporary, compressed) Offline Files in Windows Vista http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Offline_Files#Offline_Files Offline file attribute http://www.febooti.com/products/filetweak/online-help/offline-file-attribute.html Please Note: Since the web sites are not hosted by Microsoft, the links may change without notice.
