You think you are the Admin on Vista; rubbish, it is changed from XP!
Read link below about Admin before whinging!

Below is about Networking the 2 OSs

Have a read of the above link re Vista File and Printer Sharing.
Permissions/Share info is there as well.
If using Norton, McAfee, Trend Micro I.S., make sure file and printer
sharing is enabled in THEIR firewall (or LAN allowed, depending on how their
Exceptions are worded in their Firewall)
1st thing to do is make sure that the Workgroup Name of ALL the computers is
the SAME.
In Vista Network and Sharing:
Network Discovery: ON (So it can see the other computers)
Network set to Private (Public is for hotspots, airports, etc)
File Sharing: ON
Public Folder Sharing: ON (Vista’s Public Folder is the same as XP’s Shared
Docs)
Password Protected: OFF (unless you want to set up identical usernames and
passwords (passwords can be different) on ALL computers in your Network) If
you have it ON, you will be asked for a username and password when you try to
access a Vista computer from an XP computer, or a Vista computer.
Also, run the XP’s Home or Small Office Network File and Printer Sharing
Wizard to include Vista in your “New” Network, even if you had an XP Network
set up prior to adding a Vista computer to it(redoing the Wizard seems to
work for XP machines!).
In “My Network Places”: “Set up a Home or Small Office Network”
OR under Accessories > Communications > Network Setup Wizard > Allow File
and Printer Sharing.

I don't understand what the problem is here. When I attempt to save a file.
from an xp machine to a vista I get "you don't have permissions". This is
the biggest waste of time. I'm admin on both machines. I have admin
permission on both machines. I've done all the tricks for permissions and
ownership, etc. Why is this so difficult? Don't vista engineers test their
stuff? Apparently not.
Does anyone know a simple straight forward way to fix this? I really have
better things to do than argue with a machine. I'm the admin. I should be
able to do anything at anytime with that machine.
Thanks....
