Unlocking (windows) files on a mac

Once i backup from a windows pc to a nas, and since i'm doing some cleaning i run into locked file problem. First i couldn't unlock them, i don't know for sure what i did (maybe resaving the share on the lacie disk, which by the way is noisy), but since then i could unlock them 1 by 1.

this was not satisfying, so after a bit googling ...


...$ cd /goto/to/your/folder
...$ chflags -R nouchg *

Open ms access on a shared drive (need this on vmware)

While trying to set an environment with vmware - windows to run ms access applictions, a message appeared that is was not able to open the ms access on a shared drive. While i want all my documents to be on my mac (backup reasons), i want them to open through the shared drive in vmware.
The solution is simple, but on a place where i wouldn't start looking.
Open internet explorer > extra > internet options or configuration > internet options
Choose the tab securtiy, select local intranet and then press websites, then press advanced.
Type .host , without the http ... stuff, and press add.
From now on you can open ms access files ( and problably others ) without restriction.
