Hi,
I'm trying to share my D: drive (not simultaneously of course) between an XP VM and a Win7 VM. Even though the username is the same on both VMs, when I try to access the files Win7 says I have no permission to my files I created on XP.
How does Windows manage identities and file ownership (like Unix UIDs)? And how do I make Win7 give my user the same attributes as the same user on XP.
PS: I don't have an AD domain controller, so I can't use that to make the users the same.
PPS: Just had a thought.. I could get concurrent access and user control with Samba, but not sure how to do seamless user authentication without AD. Perhaps I could use a junction to link to the Samba drive.
