Permissions to shares\photos directory change when I reboot my whs

Question
-
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. :)Monday, April 12, 2010 1:57 AMModerator -

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?Monday, April 12, 2010 2:40 PM -
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 photosI 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.
