Vista/XP file sharing problem.
I have two desktops, one running XP Pro SP2, and the second is running Vista
Home Premium which I installed last night. Both machines are members of the same workgroup "Home" and the Vista machine is named DESKTOP1 and the XP machine is named DESKTOP2. On each machine, I have two folders in the Program Files directory that I need to share. My Vista machine can access the folders I have shared on the XP machine with no problems. I can see Vista's shared folders on my XP machine, but I get permission errors when I try to open the folders. When I try to share the folder in Vista, the "Share" button under Network File and Folder Sharing is grayed out, all I can do is choose Advanced Sharing. I'm assuming my problem is one of permissions, but I cannot find a way to give permission to any user accounts on my DESKTOP2 machine. Any ideas before I uninstall and go back to XP?

Vista/XP file sharing problem.
Just take a look under advanced and set the permissions from there.

Vista/XP file sharing problem.
I would if I could. I've already spent over an hour today trying to
accomplish something I could do in XP in 5 seconds. "koze" wrote: Just take a look under advanced and set the permissions from there. Ko "Stosh1968" schreef in bericht ...

Vista/XP file sharing problem.
Do you use passwords for logon ?
If so go to advanced sharing create the share from there in the same window you have a option for permissions, in there you are able to set the permissions for everyone or add a specific user. Ko.

Vista/XP file sharing problem.
I am having the same problem with no sucess in fixing it.
I have turned off the password for login and I've spent a whole day trying to get around this. There dosnt seem to be anyway to permissions for other computers. Do you have any specific instuctions you could perhaps pass on to acomplish this? Regards, Rachel "koze" wrote: Do you use passwords for logon ?

Vista/XP file sharing problem.
Folks, have you tried to uninstall or adjust your Firewall settings? Tom, in
an earlier post, had the same issue, but adjusted OneCare through the following steps and that seemed to solve his problem: Windows Live OneCare - Change OneCare Settinge - Firewall connection tool - Tick relevant options (Network discovery, file and print settings, etc) - OK - Advanced Settings - Change file sharing from 'Do not share files and printers" - OK - OK Let us know if that doesn't help.

Vista/XP file sharing problem.
I have now fixed my problem.
Although the permissions were set to "everyone" you also have to go to the security tab, click edit, click add, type everyone in the box, click apply and that should fix the problem everyone seems to be having hopefully.
