Windows XP can go weird on file permissions too.

You have to even boot in safe mode, then go to the file and fix it.

I've had files I couldn't fix in XP and took them to 2000 and back. Sounds like a movie.

Google that up, I forget the whole enchilada or at least the part with jalapenos.



How would I know that a file secretly had the wrong permissions (ie I wouldn't be able to detect them with the ATTRIB command)?

Do files sent by email carry their permissions with them? (I emailed the files that revealed the problem to my colleague who has Vista).

Why should Juke Box need to have different permissions from BIAB itself - I can play the files in full without any problem in BIAB, and I can't imagine that Juke Box would have a need to write back to a file. There's also the odd finding that if I remove a few files from the head of the list BIAB plays a file it previously got hung up on, and hangs on a later one.

Let's see if Mac suffers in the same way when he tries my files.
