Limited ablity to work with folders and files on network shares

[ofra]

Vista Business
This is a new issue and I'm not even sure that this is the proper group for
it, but since the issue is with nework shares, I figured this is my best bet.
- Users on a specific Vista computer, cannot rename files/folders or move
files/folders on network files. Same users on other computers (both Vista and
XP) can access same network shares and perform renames/moves with no problem,
so this is definitely a local issue.
- At the same time, the synch has stopped working on that computer
(automatic sync of desktop and My Documents through a group policy), and I
cannot find anywhere I can see why or change. No joy from Synch Center: No
errors are given, just no synch.
- Another symptom which may or may not be related - cannot save files from
the internet (even to local drives). Again, this is a local access as same
user, same files from a different computer can save.

All these symptoms suddenly occurred a couple of weeks ago, and before that
all was working just fine. I have no idea where to begin to look in order to
fix.

Thanks,
Ofra

Many possibilities. You may want to use icacls command to check the
permissions. These search results may help.
