XP network security issues

Hi,

I can't copy files across a network.

To be more specific: I can't copy recently downloaded files, whereas I can copy older files.

When I check the properties of these recent files, I notice that there is an extra tab: "security".

Is this why I can't copy the files - although the security settings seem to allow copying/writing/deleting?

How can I prevent XP adding these properties to new files?


TKS

You have to have administrative rights to copy these
files. Sign on as administrator or create another
administrator sign on.

Thanks Allan for your reply.

There is only one account on my XP: Andy "computer administrator"

NB: the guest account is "off"
