I have two environments that act similar.
Network 1 has XP Home system conected to XP Pro system via a wired Linksys
router.
Network 2 has 2 XP Pro systems connected to a XP Pro system via a wireless
D-Link router.
All systems are at SP2 level and are up to date with all fixes.
I have specified shared printers and folders in both systems and have have
specified share for a few folders in both systems. Shared printers are
working OK.
Network 1.
I can copy non exe extention objects from the XP Pro system to the XP Home
system performing the copy from either system.
I can copy *.exe extention objects from the XP Pro system to the XP Home
system performing the copy from the XP Pro system.
I can not copy exe extention objects from the XP Pro system to the XP Home
system if I perform the copy from the XP Home system.
I have looked at the permissions for the folders I want to share and can
find no specific reference to *.exe objects.
Again, non exe extention objects can be copied without any problem.
Network 2.
All system in network 2 are XP Pro systems.
I can copy non exe extention objects between all system from any system
without any problems.
I can not copy exe extention objects between any of the XP Pro systems. I
have tried performing the copy on each of the systems with no luck.
Does anybody know what the problem is with exe extention objects. I believe
I had this working awhile ago but can't remember when.
Stu,
What you're talking about sounds like a new security restriction, where you are
being prevented from moving *.exe files around. I noticed this behaviour with
Windows Messenger, where I ended up having my friends rename and zip up files in
some cases, since I couldn't access *.cmd, *.exe, and other files copied onto my
computer from a WM file transfer.
What security programs (firewalls, antivirus products, etc) do you have (had) on
your computers? Did you check the ACLs for both the distant and local folders?
And, maybe inherited permissions, so check all parent folders?

Thanks for your reply.
I have Norton's Internet Security 2006 installed. Even when I turn the
firewall off, I have the same problem. I also had Norton's Firewall 2004
installed up to a month ago with the same problem. Also, Windows firewall is
also turned off.
The ACLs are full control.
I can copy the exe file to the same folder and rename the copy with an
extention of OLD. I can then go to my XP Home system and copy this object.
I can rename the copied object back to .EXE and then execute it. This
procedure works fine.
I just can't understand why the EXE extention will not copy. At least I
have a work around as I don't do this very often.
