SYMPTOMS

When you browse NetWare version 2.x servers using the Microsoft Client for NetWare networks, you may be able to view folders and files that you do not have permission to view. If you try to run or open such a file or folder, you receive one of the following error messages:
Windows can't find <executable>
Access denied

CAUSE

The Novell NetWare NETX and VLM redirectors cannot view files for which the client does not have access permissions. However, because the Microsoft Client for NetWare Networks is a graphical network client, it allows you to browse NetWare resources.

For example, with the Microsoft Client for NetWare Networks installed, you may be able to view shared folders that you do not have permissions for and to view a list of the files that those folders contain. However, if you try to run, open, or manipulate any of these files or folders, you receive an error messages.
