Cant write to files on workgroup
I just began interning at an office and after some difficulty was finally able to join the workgroup. I have a Windows 7 laptop while all the other computers in the office are Windows XP. Because it is a small office they have all of their shared files saved on one main desktop. All the office computers access the shared files and read/write to them. I am able to read the shared documents but I cannot save into the shared folders or "write" to the shared documents. What do I need to change in order to be able to write to the files? I don't think the issue is related to the main XP desktop because all of the other computers are able to read/write just fine. Any help would be appreciated.

Hi, This issue can occur by incorrect permission or incompatible third party programs. To troubleshoot the issue, please perform the following steps. 1. Right click the shared folder on Windows XP and click Properties. In the Security tab, please add “Everyone” permission and select “Read/Write” option, and then click OK. Then, please write or copy some information to the shared folder again. If the issue persists, please also add Everyone permission to the shared document. 2. Temporarily disable firewall on each machine to check the result.
