That´s the point in this question. The problem is the machine that hosts the
files is using Windows 98 and there you can only set the rest of the computer
to have read-only or complete access. In this case, the folder is configured
so that anyone has complete access to the files inside. But whenever I check
if the troublesome PC is accesing the files inside this folder, I can see
it´s the guest user who is accesing the files instead of the user that
started the seesionin that machine. Strange, isn´t it?

Maybe i´ll try deactivating the guest user in that machine, as it had to be.

Best regards,
Alfonso

While this is the classic virus checker scenario I suppose if delete or
rename rights were missing it would look the same.
