"instead, the "access is denied" you are getting is new to me, and as only result on google gives this thread.
(note: this latter part of the message is made by Windows itself, HFS just reporting it)"
Sorry, did not notice that....
Got more info on this for you. Perhaps you can help me figure this out.
I think I have isolated the instance of this issue as well as 1 other. And i believe they are related.
First let me say that i have the same installation on two machines, 1 is XP and 1 is W2k pro. They both behave the same.
here goes....
Main drive is partitioned into 6 parts.
HFS resides on a non bootable partion.
If I select in the HFS menu "Run HFS when windows starts" or if I start it manually the "Add to HFS" is shown as the third option on the context menu in small print. And it works fine. But i am using a prograg called " Firedaemon Pro Service manager [http://www.firedaemon.com/]. The reason I want to use this is it allows me the ability to not only start it with windows but be sure it is always running. If it is shut down accidentally or if it hangs, Firedaemon will restart it. When I run HFS thru firedaemon the "Add to HFS" is now displayed at the top of the context menu on BOLD adn it no longer works. This is when I get the monolib error.
I also noticed this issue:
When I make changes to HFS [file shares or settings] they save automatically.
But when i start it up in Firedaemon, the file shares are correct, the settings are not.
I need to re-do the changes for them to be in effect.
Also the counter in the icon for #'s of downloads is reset to a different #.
When I set up the parameters in Firedaemon to execute HFS there are two key inputs, the pathe to HFS.exe and the working directory. I think the issue has to do with the path to the working directory.
It does see the .vfs file as it is loading the shared files / folders info, so I am assuming that the other info is stored elsewhere and it is not seeing that.
Do yopu think you might be able to help me figure out what and where it is missing?
I would really like to run this as a service.
thanks for all your help.
