I have an issue with shared folders and Windows XP.
If I create a Windows batch script in a shared folder named temp.cmd, I have to include the extension to execute the batch script (ie. "temp.cmd"). If I create batch script in a standard windows directory, I do not have to include the extension (ie. just "temp" works) - which is how it works on my Windows laptop.
This is a very simple example of my problem - my actual problem is more complex because I am trying to use code created by other people that works on a Windows machine but is not working when I use shared folders (I can't use the Windows Sharing config because I am also connected via a VPN).
Has anybody else seen this and does anybody know how to fix this?
Thanks.
