I believe the permissions are set by the 'mount' command, with the "umask" option. Put "umask=777" in /etc/fstab, where it defines /windows/C.

What are the permissions for the directories under /windows/C?
Well now, perhaps this is where I should have looked in the first place and never even gave it a thought. ;-(
windows = rwxr-xr-x c = rwxr-xr-x Netscape = rwxr-xr-x dcjohan = rwxr-xr-x mail = rwxr-xr-x inbox = rwxr-xr-x
Looks like a few writes in the correct places may solve the problem
Alternatively, what does "ls -l /windows/C/Netscape/dcjohan" show?
to much stuff to copy here
It may be you do not have write permission for that directory. And instead of being informative, Netscape just issues a default error message. It's just a thought...
and it appears to be a good one; THANKS
