- TITLE :Cannot Access Clipbook Pages Created on Local Computer
- PRODUCT :Windows NT
- PROD/VER:3.10
- OPER/SYS:WINDOWS
- KEYWORDS:buglist
-
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------
- The information in this article applies to:
-
- - Microsoft Windows NT operating system, version 3.1
- - Microsoft Windows NT Advanced Server, version 3.1
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- WARNING: Using Registry Editor incorrectly can cause
- serious, system-wide problems that may require you to
- reinstall Windows NT to correct them. Microsoft cannot
- guarantee that any problems resulting from the use of
- Registry Editor can be solved. Use this tool at your own
- risk.
-
-
- SYMPTOMS
- ========
-
- You cannot access Clipbook pages that were created on the computer to
- which you are logged on unless you created them. If you try to copy a
- page, a message is displayed telling you that the computer storing the
- page cannot be connected to.
-
- CAUSE
- =====
-
- When you create a Clipbook page, the default security applied to the
- page is Full Control for the Creator or Owner (you) and Read And Link
- for Everyone. If you share a page on the network, these permissions
- are preserved, making the page accessible for reading and linking to
- anyone who can connect to the sharing computer. However, even though
- the page grants permissions to Everyone, only the Creator or Owner of
- the page can access it locally. This is because the page is not
- trusted by any other users. This is because each Network DDE share (a
- Clipbook page for example) requires the currently logged-on user to
- trust it before it can be accessed by even that user.
-
- RESOLUTION
- ==========
-
- To work around this problem, you can establish the Clipbook page as a
- trusted share. To do so, you need to modify the Registry:
-
- NOTE: You can also call the AddTrustedShare API from a program.
-
-
- 1. Log on to the computer with the shared Clipbook page using an
- account that has administrative privileges.
-
- 2. Start Registry Editor (REGEDT32.EXE).
-
- 3. Go to
-
- HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\NetDDE\DDE Shares
-
- and note the SerialNumber and ShareDBInstance values.
-
- 4. Go deeper by choosing DDE Shares and note the name of the ShareName
- value in the CLPBK$ key.
-
- 5. Log off. Log on to your usual user account. Start Registry Editor
- again.
-
- 6. Go to the following subkey
-
- HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\NetDDE
- \DDE Trusted Shares\DDEDBixxxxxx
-
- where xxxxxx is the ShareDBInstance under the key referenced in
- Step 3.
-
- 7. From the Edit menu, choose Add Key. Enter the name found in Step 3.
-
- 8. From the Edit menu, choose Add Value for each of the following
- values and enter the appropriate information:
-
- Name Data Type Value
- ---------------------------------------------------------------
- InitAllowed REG_DWORD 0x1
- SerialNumber REG_BINARY <serial number from Step 4>
- StartApp REG_DWORD 0x0
-
- NOTE: Any changes to the shared Clipbook page result in the serial
- number in Step 4 changing. If this happens, you need to update the
- SerialNumber value in Step 8.
