>Vista.

>When Windows Vista Beta 2 is configured to allow network access without
>asking for a username and password and also to allow co-owner access to the
>public folder, it does not allow you to create or modify files in public
>folders from other computers like it is supposed to. There are some
>additional steps you must perform in order to enable this feature.
