I am trying to copy files from a shared folder on my laptop to my desktop.
Both are running Windows XP. Every attempt fails because it says "Access
Denied." I am sitting at my desktop and browsing my laptop from it through
the network. Every attempt to copy the files fails because of "Access
Denied." When I look at the properties for the folder in question, Read-Only
is checked. I uncheck it and try again, but it fails again. I look at
Properties again, and the check mark has come back. This holds true for
every folder above that level, all the way up to Documents and Settings.
When I uncheck the box at that level, it asks if I want to apply the
attributes change to all subfolders, and I say "Yes." It then looks like it
goes through and makes the changes, but they do not stick. What's a fella to
do?
