I am trying to help a friend setup a shared folder on his network. I got it to show up on his other PCs, but whenever it is selected it says that it doesn't have permissions to access the folder. I have tried to find where to grant permissions, but the "sharing" button is grayed out. On top of that, sometimes it says that the account doesnt have admin rights, when it is set as the admin account.

I have made sure that the PCs are all on the same workgroup, checked for Windows updates, made sure to have sharing allowed. I am prettying sure it has something to do with the grayed out sharing button. Any ideas how to fix this issue?

I did that, it has everyone in the permissions. I tried to go back and redo what he did, he cant even remember what he did, so that doesnt help to solve the issue. lol. But now I cant share anything, because it says I dont have admin rights and has sharing grayed out. lol.

He said the guys at the store upgraded him to Win10. I am thinking they did something wrong, I dont know how its pretty straight forward. Should I just do a fresh OS install and start from scratch?
