I have windows on a separate partition and I can't get access to the My Documents folder in KDE, I can read, I can open files but can't create or delete files.

This is the path:
/mnt/windows/Documents\ and\ Settings/<myname>/My\ Documents

ls /mnt -hal
Code:

drwxrwxrwx  16 root   root   16K Dec 31  1969 windows


ls /mnt/windows/Documents\ and\ Settings/Steve -hal

try adding 'user' to the options under your fstab

Here's the entry for my shared music disk:
Code:
/dev/sdb3               /media/music    vfat            user,noatime,umask=000          0 0

(don't think the 'noatime' is needed here btw)

Hope this helps.

Simon

I should note here that I can read, write and delete most other folders on my drive except the stuff in Documents and Settings.

Seems to me theres some sort of security in place but Fat32 doesn't have security in terms of NTFS type stuff.
