George, Now I'm a bit mystified. My hard drives are set never to turn off. I can't find that additional check box anywhere for re-connecting at log-in. Thanks for the advice. Any more to offer? -- Carol carol.pearson@xxxxxxxxxxxx----- Original Message ----- From: "George Bell" <george@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Hi Carol, All good disk drives can be set to turn off after a given period of time. This is usually done via Power Settings in Control Panel. As for sharing the drive, did you check, "re-connect drive at log in?"

First, it appears to switch off when not in use. This would seem to be after a fair amount of time. Has anyone ideas as to whether this is design or faulty? Second, when I came to use it on my home network today, I found that its permissions appeared to have disappeared and I had to go back to my desktop and say again that I really did want to share this drive. Again, would you consider this to be design or faulty? Perhaps I'll have to call for technical help but thought I'd ask on list first. -- Carol carol.pearson@xxxxxxxxxxxx ** To leave the list, click on the immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe] ** If this link doesn't work then send a message to: ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ** and in the Subject line type ** unsubscribe ** For other list commands such as vacation mode, click on the ** immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=faq] ** or send a message, to ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the Subject:- faq ** To leave the list, click on the immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe] ** If this link doesn't work then send a message to: ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ** and in the Subject line type ** unsubscribe ** For other list commands such as vacation mode, click on the ** immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=faq] ** or send a message, to ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the Subject:- faq
