Cannot open file in virtual directory defined via share

JJA
I have 2 web servers both running win server 2003 with iis 6.0. On my
PROD server I have a virtual directory called CONV. It points to a
folder on the C drive of this PROD server.

On my TEST server, I defined a virtual directory called CONV. It points
to a share called \\prodservernam e\CONV. Note that the share name is
the same name as that of the virtual directory.

Using IIS on the TEST server, I can navigate to this CONV virtual
directory and via right mouse, click EXPLORE. I see all the content I
should but when I try to doubleclick on a file I get a message saying
"Security alert" - "your current security settings do not allow you to
perform system commands on this item".

I've tried everything I can think of on the security settings for the
physical folder on the PROD server. I extended EVERYONE from READ, etc.
to FULL CONTROL. I added the user called INTERACTIVE and gave it full
control. In short, I am stumped and guessing now.

Basically, I just want to avoid duplicating all the data files on my
PROD server over to my TEST server. Thanks in advance for trying to
help me.

I am trying to open web project in VS 2003 using the File Share method. VS is running on XP Pro (Host) and I am accessing the root web of an XP Pro install on Virtual PC (Server) running on the same machine. I have the loopback adapter running on the Host. The Host is sharing it's Internet connectivity with the loopback adapter and the Server is using the loopback it for Internet connectivity. All the networking stuff is working fine.

Using ASP.net 1.1 and Microsoft Access. I received the following error message. Why? I have closed the Access file. I have another very small access file that opens with no trouble with the same code, except a different name for the file. The Microsoft Jet database engine cannot open the file 'C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\Accident.mdb'. It is already opened exclusively by another user, or you need permission to view its data.

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
