Re: First time user of win xp fax service / fax console - no sending possible

The Fax Service has always been uniquely intolerant of moving its default file locations because it must use its own unique logon. It provides no way to reset these options that I have seen.

Anyhow, thanks for your attempts.

In the meantime I seem to have found out the reason.

The TEMP directories are set in my system on a specific manner.
They are relocated to special partition.
I have three such folder: one for system account, one for my restricted
user account, one for administrator.
Each of them with full access privileges to associated account only,
respectively system, user, administrator.
All regular jobs such internet, faxing, photos, music... are
done on the user account with restricted privileges.

Fax service uses system TEMP folder, but logged-in as
administrator. Just this fails. Only system account has full
access to this directory.

So I have to find a way to reconfigure TEMP directory of fax service,
or to let them to log-on to windows as system, not admin.
Actually, it is something mysterious, the fax service is set to
"log on as local system account". It can't be seen under "Fax properties". I don't understand this.
