[plug] accessing a NT folder

[Andrew Pamment]

I think we should all learn from this. From now on I suggest nobody make
any suggestions. (oh dear, how about from now on) this can be a forum of
unanswered questions, after all, the more alternatives we don't suggest,
the simpler everything gets, and well, with no alternatives, hey, it
couldn't get simpler. Not only would the list be a lot simpler, but we
would also help each other, because true answers come from within, and
who, in the grand scheme of things, really needs to move files from NT
to Linux or vice versa? in the end we just wither and die, returning to
the dust without our NT files.

Alternativly, perhaps, everyone could offer suggestions, even if they
are obscure, because, while it may not help the question asker, it may
help someone of future generations who searches the archives seeking
that exact answer.
