SYMPTOMS
When you browse NetWare version 2.x servers using the Microsoft Client for
NetWare networks, you may be able to view folders and files that you do not
have permission to view. If you try to run or open such a file or folder,
you receive one of the following error messages:
- Windows can't find <executable>
- Access denied
CAUSE
The Novell NetWare NETX and VLM redirectors cannot view files for which the
client does not have access permissions. However, because the Microsoft
Client for NetWare Networks is a graphical network client, it allows you to
browse NetWare resources.
For example, with the Microsoft Client for NetWare Networks installed, you
may be able to view shared folders that you do not have permissions for and
to view a list of the files that those folders contain. However, if you try
to run, open, or manipulate any of these files or folders, you receive an
error messages.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft Windows 95. We
are researching this problem and will post new information here in the
Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
