Can't access external drive with standard user account

B

brain82

Hello- I installed an external drive for my son so he can store his music.
He is set up as a "standard User" undr my parental controls.
He wants to modify the folders and edit things on the external drive but can
not do so with out getting administrator permission every time.

How can I fix this so he can access his music on the external "K" drive and
not have to give "sdministrator permissions every time.
thanks for your help

Have you added his username to the Security tab? Or these search results may
help.
