You do not have permission to perform this action.

I have two computers running Win 8 and one running Win 7. I have been trying to set everything up so that there is no problem accessing any file on one computer from any other computer. I am running all computers as administrator. The user account settings are set to the lowest possible security setting. The computers are all networked. Every drive and every folder is shared (except for the operating system drive) and the security tab on every folder gives full permission to other users on the network. Other than anti-virus I have no other security software. In addition all 3 computers are part of the home group.  


When I try to transfer an image file from a drive on one computer to a drive on another usually it works but every once in awhile I get "access denied". Sometimes I can fix this by going into security settings tab for the folder and reset the permissions. For some reasom one particular folder resets its security settings each time the computer reboots. Today the issue is that all of the settings are correct and I'm still getting access denied. This has been driving me nuts for months now. Why can't the geniuses at Microsoft come up with a way to let computers you own simply access all of the files on every computer on your network?
