    Sorry if this has been asked before but I have set up the internet guest account to have have access to my shares\photos folder. This allows me to ru the open source photo viewer called SCRY. However when I reboot the permission is lost and I have to add this in again.

    Is there a way around this?

    Windows Home Server controls permissions for all shares, so no. Perhaps you could take a look at the add-in Whiist instead, which includes a way to set up a sinple photo album.
    I'm not on the WHS team, I just post a lot. :)

    I do use Whisst but there must be some way to allow any folder on a share to have this. I did this somehow and then rebuilt my server and lost it

    If a create a new folder on the share would that be possible?

    How are you setting the permissions?  You must do it through the Windows Home Server Console, Shared Folders Tab.

    I did for the guest account but does this relate to the internet guest account?

    The guest account is the 'internet' guest account.  However, any changes made to the permissions must be done in the console - any changes done outside of the console will be reset by Windows Home Server.

    Is this a folder you have created outside of the Windows Home Server Console?

    No it is a subfolder of photos

    I have a folder called photos\pictures.

    Would it work they way I want to if I did it outside the WHS console?

    You can only assign permissions with the Home Server Console (not remote desktop) to a Share - not folders within a share.  It will not work if you do it outside of the console.
