I've several PCs making Windows 7 backups on a NAS Server, a Windows 2003 Storage Server appliance, in which each user has a disk quota. When that disk quota is over, each user must delete the last backup, in order to free the quota, and start a new Windows 7 backup. That's very simple, but I've a problem. In the remote backup directory a desktop.ini file is created without delete permission for the user, it's the only file without this permission for the user, so the user can't delete it and I've to do it for the user (the administrators group has permission). The user has only permission for reading that file (granted to Autenticated Users group). And the user is the owner of the file !!!!. Why these permissions on that file are given that way?. I'd like to be given granted to the user's account directy, is it possible?. Thanks in advance, greetings.

It keeps the preferences for the layout of that folder. If there is any deviation from the standard layout of a folder, then a desktop.ini is created. You can disable it by unchecking "Remember each folder's view settings" in the Folder Options/View. This filensidered "system" one, that is why users canot delete it. Use script and schedule task to clen what you think is better not to save... regards Milos

Hi Milos, thanks for your reply. I guess I have to apply that configuration change in the user's account on the NAS Server, ok?. May I do a global user system change, with the Local Computer Policy (the NAS Server is a stand alone computer)? Do you know which key would be? Or I have to apply the change user by user? Greetings, Vincent

Hi, We can import some registry keys to achieve it. 1. Open Notepad. 2. Paste the following command. Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer] "NoSaveSettings"=dword:00000000 3. Save the file as a.reg 4. Double click a.reg Please note: The system may be unstable if we edit the registry keys.Kim Zhou TechNet Community Support
