slnsolutions :
when i delete a folder it is not deleting .
it is showing access is denied
make sure the disk not full or write protected and that the file not in use.
windows xp = os
Back in the Sharing setting on the folder you are sharing, there is a check box that said "Allow network users to change my files".
Make sure that box is checked. That should give wright access to the share.
BTW
I think you are in what that call simple file sharing, (It has been awhile since I used XP file sharing so I forgot about it)
So I think it just give Everyone access to that folder. So I don't think it will ask for a password at all, it will just give anyone access. But for a small home network I think this is just fine.
If you what to enable the advance sharing, open up control panel go to folder options then the view tab, then at the very bottom of the list (at least for me) there is a box that saids "Use simple file sharing (Recommended)" uncheck that box and click ok. Now go back to you shared folder"s sharing options, You should have more options to work with, including Permissions.
WARNING
This can get really complicated really fast, and if you don't know what you are doing it can brake you folder permissions on folder and you might loose access to files and folders completely. so if it is working to you satisfaction, I would just leave it be.
If you are going to use it, be careful with the security tab, that will appear when "Use simple file sharing " is unchecked.
I would read up about it, and test it on test folders before you do it to folder with important stuff in it.
