And that doesn't work for me. Thanks for taking the effort to list it out though.
But I did get it figured out!!! <pats self on back> The answer lies NOT under the 'Sharing' tab BUT under the 'Security' tab of the properties window. Under that tab you'll see a list in the 'Group or User Names' window. I had Authenticated Users, SYSTEM, Administrators (MAIN\Administrators), and Users (MAIN\Users). Under that window I clicked 'Edit' and then a new window pops up and under the list I clicked 'Add', typed in "everyone" and set permissions in the same popup window to Full Control and voila! It all works! Did the same steps on the Vista machine too and all went perfect. |
thats where i add the users i mentioned earlier.
btw you missed a wicked night at the portly....
