I was using the Synchronet Control Panel. Then I selected List Users from the me
nu and went from there.
In the meantime, I gave full permissions to 'Everyone' for all d:\sbbs files/fol
ders and that seemed to fix it! This install was zipped and copied over from an
install on another system so I'm not surprised it ended up being a permissions p
roblem. The reason I copied over the install from the other system is that I cou
ld not for the life of me figure out how to export/import all of my File Area fi
les and I didn't want to go through the tedium of using the addfiles utility one
-by-one to recreate what I had in my old install.
