Sounds like an AppleShare issue. Permissions on Windows just dictates
accessibility - nothing to do with what app is associated with an icon or
file extension (assuming that's what you mean by "icons" not recognized, but
rather the file extension.
In Windows, if an app is associated with a specific extension, such as Word
is to a .doc extension, then the blue "W" icon is associated with it. If
viewing a file thru a mapped drive from a machine that has Word installed,
and the machine you are looking at does not have Word installed, you will
still see the blue "W" icon from your machine because its installed and
associated on your machine. That;s why I believe it's an AppleShare issue.
