Networking-File Sharing

[Brendan]

I am networking my Destop with 2 Laptops (all running Vista Home premium). I
want all machines to have full access to all shared files. I know it is
possible to give full access permission to everyone, but I'm darned if I
remember how, Anybody help please?

Excellent, thorough, yet easy to understand article about File/Printer
Sharing in Vista. Includes details about sharing printers as well as files
and folders:

Don't forget to create matching user accounts and passwords on all machines.
You do not need to be logged into the same account on all machines and the
passwords assigned to each user account can be different; the
accounts/passwords just need to exist and match on all machines. DO NOT
NEGLECT TO CREATE PASSWORDS, EVEN IF ONLY SIMPLE ONES. If you wish a
machine to boot directly to the Desktop (into one particular user's
account) for convenience, you can do this. The instructions at this link
work for both XP and Vista:
