If this article does not describe the error message that you are receiving, view the following Microsoft Knowledge Base article to view more articles that describe error messages:

315854 Windows 98 and Windows Me Error Message Resource Center



SYMPTOMS
When you use a Windows 95-based computer to copy a read-only file to a core SMB server (such as a LAN Manager for UNIX server), you may receive the following error message:

Error 5 - Access Denied

This occurs when using Explorer or XCOPY to copy the read-only file to the server. This does not occur when using File Manager.



CAUSE
This error message occurs because there is a mismatch between the way that the Windows 95 redirector accesses files and the way that core SMB servers expect this access.



RESOLUTION
To work around this issue, use the Windows 3.x File Manager tool (Winfile.exe) to copy the file. This tool is in your Windows folder.

A supported fix for Windows 95 that corrects this problem is now available from Microsoft, but has not been fully regression tested and should be applied only to computers experiencing this specific problem.

This issue is not resolved in Microsoft Windows 98.
