    2 Quick questions.
    First, On my desktop, when accessing a mesh syncronized folder, sometimes i am denied access. I can open the folder, but cannot move items in or out of the folder, access denied. When checking security tab of properties on folder, access is denied. But if i sign out of mesh, folder is fully accessable. Why does it do that?

    Second, First time this has happened. On my desktop, I tryed to open a folder. Windows explorer froze. I opened task manager, and it showed 2 users on my desktop. In services,in mesh service, under properties, I have it set to interact with the desktop, so that may explain that. I couldnot close the desktop, I had to shutdown with tower button. When windows logged back on. an error message appeared, I managed to get back on the desktop, and everything was fine. mY question is could mesh have anything to do with this?

    Hi, Diana.
    I've never encountered this with multiple machines running Live Mesh, but I wouldn't rule it out. :-)

    I would speculate that the access denied situation could happen when Live Mesh is in the middle of synchronizing the folder contents, but no other time. Note that when I view the security tab of the meshed fodlers I see no reference to Live mesh and my ID is the owner/administrator of the folder and files.

    A hard lockup in Explorer is often due to misbehaving shell add-ins. Since Live Mesh is a shell add-in, it is certainly possible that Live Mesh was also a contributing factor in your crash/lock-up.

    It may be worth filing a bug on both issues, especially if you see it again, and perhaps the Live Mesh team will spot something in your logs.

    Hi Steve,

    Thanks for explaining that. I wasn't sure. As I said, it only happened one time. If it happens again, I will file a report. Thanks for your reply
