We recently added a new XP-Pro workstation to our network
in my office. We are running a Win 98 machine as our
file server. My problem is this:

I can view files on the remote server through Windows
Explorer. However, any file that I open, opens as Read-
Only. Both the workstation and the server are on the
same workgroup and this is the only computer I am having
this issue with. How do I fix this issue and what is
causing it.


Thanks for any help!
 
Try looking at the properties of the shared folder, the
default simple sharing is "Read Only". Once you have
highlighted and right clicked the folder, go
to "Properties" then thr "Sharing" Tab, put a check mark
in the box "allow users to change my files".
