can't write to workgroup shares

05-28-2006, 11:27 PM

Put Vista Beta 2 on one machine in a six-machine XP wired workgroup network.
The other machines can see the machine and browse/read the folders and files
on the shared drives. Just can't write to them. Thought this was a
permissions issue, but "Everyone" has "Full Control" on the Vista drives.
Suggestions welcome?

Put Beta 2 on one machine in a six-machine wired workgroup. Other machines
can browse to the Vista machine, and read the folders and files on the shared
drives. Can't write, though. Thought this was a permissions issue, but the
"Everyone" group has "Full Control" on the drives in question. Is there
something different about the way Vista handles write permission on shared
drives?

Turn off simple file sharing. Open an Explorer window, click Organize >
Folder Options > View (tab) > uncheck "Use Sharing Wizard (Recommended)" >
ok.
