Accounts on a folder and permissions can supersede another account. Admin
being set to one thing and Everyone set to something else or machine
name\Users having a different permission setting from everything.

Also, you made need to take Ownership of the folder.

You can also use Authenticated User Group, which means the same user account
must be established on both machines.


I am sorry, but this is what I don't understand. The workgroup has a
standard name everywhere here, and machines joining have to join the same
workgroup. Each machine is logged on with the same user name, and they all
have admin rights.
I see no security tab on the XP machine to set permissions from. I do see
the tab from the Vista machine, but get a message that changing permissions
frm there on the XP machine is forbidden. In fact most alterations that I try
seem to be invisible or forbidden.

This Home or Pro XP if Pro, then you have disable Simple File Sharing in order to go to Security on XP when you go to Explore and Properties for folder, by right-clicking. If Home, then you should move the file to the default share folder, which you should have used a share folder you created if it's Pro.


Is the problem that the machines mainly log on with no password? All I want
to achieve is the situation that occurred in XP, where a directory could be
shared in such a way that anyone with the right username on the right
workgroup could access it. Are there simple instructions anywhere regarding
how to achieve this in Vista?

You make a share on Vista just like you would on XP pro, by using Explorer and right-clicking the folder to share.

Once again, use Authenticated User group on shares, go to Advanced Button on Vista or Permissions button on XP if you can set security on the share. You remove Everyone off of the share and use Authenticated user group.

Also, the Everyone in using the Advanced button for a share on Vista may be set to a read only permission, superseding all other accounts.

Note: I am not talking about Properties/Security tab from using Explorer and right clicking.

A share has it's own special permission that are a root permission for the share, and it not folder permissions. They are share permissions.
