Sharing Documents folder on Vista with XP
I have a Vista notebook on a wireless network with an XP pc. I have no
problem seeing from the Vista any files on my pc that are declared to be shared. The same is true for the files on my Vista with one exception and that is the sub-folder of the Users folder that contains my Documents, Pictures, Videos etc. That is the only folder that generates a"permission denied" message. It is declared to be Shared and the permissions include Everyone. I am at a total loss as to how to solve this.

Sharing Documents folder on Vista with XP
You may try to turn off the simple file sharing first. Or this post may
help.

Sharing Documents folder on Vista with XP
Thanks although I did not find that link to be very useful.Actually I finally
solved the problem. For my pesky Vista folder I went to Properties Security. There is an EDIT button which actually allows you to add as well. So I added EVERYONE. When I clicked on Apply I got a whole stream of messages referring to every sub-folder and saying something about being unable to set the security for that folder. Whatever that meant, I can now see all my files from the XP :-) It is quite shocking to see the number of posts dealing with similar frustrations with Vista. What a Dog! "Robert L.
