Hi All,
First, I'm no computer newbie but I am a windows guy NOT a Linux guy..
2nd, I am DESPERATE to break away from Windows and this is my 4th attempt to do so
3rd, I don't have the time to wade through pages of help learning exactly 'what' it is I need to do.
My problem (one of them) is this. When I install a windows program, in this case MSMoney 2001 using Play on Linux it all works fine until I want to access/save files to my QNAP server.
I have successfully mounted the network share but cannot save, via any program installed to Play on Linux, to that share. I also installed a simple backup program (Backer) and that too cannot save to the shared folder.
Further more, after going through the process of mounting the drive to /mnt whilst the folder is still there after re-boot there is no data. This is after following a procedure given to my by Installation Support

Surely, I mean it cannot be!, I have to go through the same process at every re-boot just to access a network share???????? which then does not allow me to save a file to that share, or even open it for that matter....
My observation is that if Linux, in any form, is going to replace Windows there MUST be an easy way to do in Linux (Zorin) what can so easily be acheived in Windows. I can map a network share to Windows 7 in seconds; I am currently loseing the will to use Zorin (I have already bought ultimate 12/15 (as I want to support it)) but I'm currently wondering why and even contemplating Windows 10 which I HATE the thought of....
Final question, is there such a thing as "How do I do in Zorin this thing I can do in Windows?" help guide? If not there really does need to be..
Sorry for the rant but I really am at the end If I don't get any help.
ps, I'm no idiot, I program Logic Controllers and design generator/lift control systems for a living.... PLEASE HELP!
