![]() I do not have a fix for the inability to access some computers by name rather than by IP address. Running attrib /? tells what the arguments mean, but it doesn't explain that you need the *.* to make the command go through the hierarchy clearing the special attributes on all the files.Īfter I did that, and then used drag and drop between two Windows Explorer windows (one on the Windows drive, on on the target drive on the Mac), the whole move operation ran to completion without stopping either for error or to ask for confirmation. ![]() I finally decided to eliminate all special files on the Windows side, before copying, by runningĪttrib -s -h -r /s /d \*.* After confirming copy of some special file, I would get an error that terminated the copy operation, and info on the Mac side would show a locked folder.

I cannot see any setting in Windows that would cause it to be seen as being locked by Mac OSX, but the Mac is obviously seeing a setting on these folders that is causing it to lock them as soon as they are created. I can only delete/edit the folder on the Macbook itself. 'Bjork - Homegenic') gets copied over from Windows to my Macbook, it is created on the Macbook with a 'Locked' status, so none of it's contents will copy over.

However, if I manually enter the IP address of my Macbook in the Windows address bar (\\192.168.0.191), I can view and access all the shared folders. Clicking on it causes Windows 7 to try and access it, but then I get a message after a minute saying the network path could not be found.
