Sharing Files & Folders in Vista Problems

I am having problems sharing files and folders via wireless within Vista. I have 2 machines running Vista, I have enabled Network Discovery, File Sharing, and disabled Password Protected Sharing on both machines. I wanted to share my E drive so i set the E drive to share. In the Share....menu the Share tab is greyed out so i clicked on Advance Settings, in this i set permissions for Everyone to Access, Modify Ect, but when I click on the Drive E on the other machine, it say Access Denied.

Any ideas what i'm doing wrong?

It was soooo much easier in XP. :-(

Re: Sharing Files & Folders in Vista Problems

What happens when you try to share a folder that isn't the root?

Re: Sharing Files & Folders in Vista Problems

Have you tried turning off password protected sharing in the Vista Network and Sharing Center?
