Saving to remote computer problems
I have linked my laptop and desktop computers so that I can open files in the
My Documents file from each computer. When I open documents that are kept on my laptop on the desktop, I'm able to save them without problems. When I open documents that are kept on the desktop computer from my laptop, I can edit them, but I can't hit save and and save them back onto the desktop computer. It says the document is read-only. I have made sure those documents aren't already open on the desktop when I try to edit them on the laptop. How can I change my settings so I can save directly to the desktop computer from the laptop?

Saving to remote computer problems
It's first necessary to know if you're attempting Vista-Vista, Vista-XP
(edition?), or Vista-????. With Vista the problem is resolved in the Network and Sharing Center. You obviously have Network Discovery and File Sharing enabled. The key may lie in the "Public Folder sharing." When the drop down is opened, one of the options is "Turn on sharing so anyone with network access can open, change, and create files." You should have that option enabled. For XP the solution is a little different. Find the shared folder, and Single Click it. Then Right Click, and select "Sharing and Security." From there, your choice will be obvious. "Share this folder on the network" is probably already checked, but you should also select "Allow network users to change my files." The difficulty may be in finding the shared folder. Try "Documents and Settings\All Users\Documents." At least that's what worked for me. Good luck!
