I shared out a folder with a txt file in it on my vista machine

I went to my laptop which is an xp pro machine and browsed to the file no
problem

I was able to delete the file which shouldn't happen. Cause in xp when you
share a file and then access it from another pc you are not able to delete it
cause the everyone permission is set to read, execute

any suggestions on this
 
Hi,

I guess, you might have the username/password on you xp similar to the user
on your Vista pc. If the user have admin rights on the Shared folder, then it
will allow it to delete any files within the shared folder. Like both are
Administrators without passwords !

abc.
