Turn off Simple File Sharing.

In Explorer, Tools, Folder Options, View tab, scroll all the way down,
uncheck Use Simple File Sharing.

Thank you Steve, you cracked it straight away, I would never have thought of
that.

You're welcome Arthur. It's a common problem. Why M$ chose to hide such
security aspects from the user in a "Professional" OS is beyond me.

I expect that the "Professional" part means, administered by
professionals for use "by professionals in a business", not the
"ability" of the user in a computer sense.
