 Can't connect to folders like 'Video's'
As the subject already says: I cannot connect to folders like 'Video's'. Other folders names works fine but with the folder 'Video's' it keeps asking for a username and password but is always fails.

 Re: Can't connect to folders like 'Video's'
What happens if you omit the apostrophe (videos instead of video's) or replace the apostrophe by an underscore (video_s instead of video's)?

 Re: Can't connect to folders like 'Video's'
When i change the name of the folder, I can connect without a problem. As i am streaming from WHS 2011 the standard folder for Movies is Video's (which cannot be removed) so i would like to keep the original structure.

 Re: Can't connect to folders like 'Video's'
Small update: I can mount the shared folder 'Video's' on a usb folder named Videos. but this isn't quite what i want.

 Re: Can't connect to folders like 'Video's'
As a rule, punctuation in file names should be avoided as it can cause compatibility problems - no matter what the world according to Microsoft thinks Andy

 Re: Can't connect to folders like 'Video's'
I know, but as I said, I can not change the name or delete the folder (not in the official way) so I'll have to try something. I don't want to make a second folder 'Videos'.

 Re: Can't connect to folders like 'Video's'
I do not understand your problem. You obviously use a Dutch Windows. On my PCs I see Video's indeed, but on my Mini Gebruikers become Users and Video's become Videos and the Videos folder is fully accessible from my Mini. (I shared Public / Openbare folders on my PC).
And as a (maybe redundant) solution create a Videos subfolder in the Video's folder, put your all video files in that subfolder and share that.

 Re: Can't connect to folders like 'Video's'
I am using the dutch version of Windows Home Server 2011 and the Standard folder/share for Movies is Video's. I can not change or delete this share. Therefore my question is: how can I logon to a folder named "Video's"? A subfolder in the folder Video's is not an option as I cannot access the folder Video's.

 Re: Can't connect to folders like 'Video's'
Windows Home Server 2011 obviously causes more issues, you are not the first with WHS 2011 problems on the forum. Can you create a Videos folder next to Video's folder and just do not use the Video's folder? Why stick to the rigid WHS file system at all?

 Re: Can't connect to folders like 'Video's'
Duivel's solution is right If you create a new folder called videos (anywhere in the file system) and share it out as videos then you won't need to think about the video's folder - the new share doesn't need it.Try it and see Microsoft need to learn English - video's should not have an apostophe for a plural  Andy
