    Windows 7 Destination Folder access denied


    So here's the scenario.

    i have a media server set up where i store all my media files so they are shared with my household.

    The problem is that when i try and do anything in the shared folder (mapped as a network drive) i get a "destination folder access denied: you need permission to perform this action).
    All OS's is Windows 7 Pro.

    Heres the setup.

    single shared(called Shared) folder with subfolders where the administrator group is owner and the user credentials i use to log on the mapped network drive with are member of the administrator group. every member of the household have a different username.

    i have tried disabling UAC, adding the user directly to the folder with full permissions and still no dice.

    Am i missing something? i am able to play the media files but if i want to edit a file or make a new folder i get the access denied error.

    help?

    Kind Regards
