Default can't write to workgroup shares

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?

Default can't write to workgroup shares

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?

Default Re: can't write to workgroup shares

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