Trying to edit to a networked pc and Vista tells me that I can't write to it
because the folders are Read-Only. My XP laptop is able to edit them without issue. I'm logged in as administrator to the remote machine. Is there a setting in Vista I ned to change? |

Does the XP laptop uses the same administrator and password of the Vista? Use the icacls command to check the permission. This link may help,

Network Admin finally looked at it and solved the problem. XP didn't seem to
care about the folder being marked read only. So the Vista security was working correctly.

Robert;
I'm having the same problem as Gomi. I'm not able to get it resolved though and our network admin is adamantly against Vista, so I'm on my own here. I do have admin privileges on the network & anywhere I need it. When I try to change the Read Only property of any networked folder it asks if I want to include subfolders & files and it makes a big show of running through the files and incrementing a progress bar. But, when it's all over and I reopen the properties window, it's still Read Only. Please help as this is a Vista show stopper. |

I'm deleting it and reinstalling XP as soon as I hit 'Post'. If Microsoft can't enable the simplest thing like connecting to a network share and modifying a file there, then it is unready for the business world. I hope everyone who had anything to do with putting this piece of crap out will rot in hell. |
