  Hi Jon,
  how do you try to create it?
  The only supported way is through the Windows Home Server console in the Shared Folders section (I also assume, that the message is "Access DENIED").

  Hi Olaf

  You are right - I did of course mean 'denied' - either I wrote it too early in the morning or there is some 'autocorrect' going on here!

  I have tried recreating the folder in various ways. While I can create a shared folder called Jon in the WHS Console, it appears directly under the shares directory and there appears to be no way of creating it under Users (which does not appear in the Shared Folders listing - although I assume the WHS install created it as I do not recall creating it myself). And I guess it's not too surprising that I can't create it other than via the Console given the additional DFS behaviour and duplication options. Not a big deal I suppose, but a bit irritating.
  
  regards
  
  Jon

  Hi Jon,
  the simplest solution would be to delete the user in the console and recreate the account after doing so.

  I accidentally deleted the folder that was named with my username inside of \\WHSServer\Users\ from my laptop.  I didn't want to delete and re-create the user account so I rebooted my Windows Home Server and after the server came back up the username folder was automatically re-created.  I was able to access the folder from my laptop and read/write to it with my existing user account.
