Default Sharing all subfolders

I moved my My Documents folder to drive D on a Windows XP Pro desktop. I
have hundreds of folders in Drive D - some in My Documents; others,
subfolders of the root. D is strictly a data drive. I networked the PC
with a new laptop and wish to copy all of D to the laptop. Vista denies me
access to some folders. How do I shere every folder on the desktop's D
drive without having to individually change the sharing for each folder?

Default Sharing all subfolders

Open the properties of the folder. Make sure the user have read and write in
the sharing. In the Security tab, click Advanced. Select the user and click
Edit. Check the Replace all existing inheritable permission son all
descendants with inheritable permissions from this object". Please post back
with the result.

Default Sharing all subfolders

I tried doing what you suggested but it didn't work.

FYI, when I open the properties folder Security tab, Advanced button, the
"Replace permission entries on all child objects with entries shown here
that apply to child objects" checkbox is there. When I select the user and
click Edit, the checkbox in that dialog box says, "Apply permissions to
objects and/or containers within this container only". I tried checking it
and unchecking it. Neither option seems to make D "accessible". When I
click on "D" from the laptop's network folder I continue to get the
"\\Desktop\d is not accessible..." error.

I'm embarrassed to admit it, but I don't know what you mean by "use cacls to
check the permissions".

Default Sharing all subfolders

I get the following response from the ICACLS command:

Access is denied.
Successfully processed 0 files; Failed processing 1 files

Is there a straightforward way to simply reset both drives on the Windows XP
Professional PC to allow Administrators Full Control and Users Read access?
Why is this so complicated? XP and Vista are both marketed as ideal
operating systems for home networking. The reality does not live up to the
hype.
