order to go to Security on XP when you go to Explore and Properties for
folder, by right-clicking. If Home, then you should move the file to the
default share folder, which you should have used a share folder you created
if it's Pro.

You make a share on Vista just like you would on XP pro, by using Explorer
and right-clicking the folder to share.
Once again, use Authenticated User group on shares, go to Advanced Button
on Vista or Permissions button on XP if you can set security on the share.
You remove Everyone off of the share and use Authenticated user group.
Also, the Everyone in using the Advanced button for a share on Vista may be
set to a read only permission, superseding all other accounts.
Note: I am not talking about Properties/Security tab from using Explorer and
right clicking.
A share has it's own special permission that are a root permission for the
share, and it not folder permissions. They are share permissions.
