799462	2009-08-08 23:40:00	One more "quick" question. When accesing files on the desktop from my laptop, I have full control on one username but the other is read only. How can I fix this up?	xyz823 (13649)
799463	2009-08-08 23:56:00	Did you set permissions to Everybody with Read/Write? Check by right clicking the folder>properties>sharing tab>Advanced Sharing>Permissions Blam	Blam (54)

799465	2009-08-09 00:25:00	Yep set that and still wont work. Oh well dont worry about it, Thats because you are only half sharing the Vista Folders. heres howto do it correctly : Sharing Folders in Vista is a two step process. Go to the folder you want to share: Right click it, select properties, go to the sharing tab, click on the word( button) “Share” In the blank Drop Down box, hit the arrow on the right, select Guest, Click ADD, In the box below will be guest, select it, ( it will say Reader) change it to “ Co - Owner” Hit Share down the bottom, it will take a few seconds to share, then click DONE. SECOND PART: Back at the properties window, select “ Advanced Sharing”, put a tick in the box that says “ Share this folder” - Click Permissions - by default there will be an entry called “ Everyone” in the check boxes, place ticks in Full Control, Change , Read, click OK ( 3 times)	wainuitech (129)
