Accessing folders in a network

I have just purchased a new computer running vista. My wireless network seems
to work OK and I can access everything on the XP machine from the Vista one.
When I try to access the vista machine from the XP one I can access
everything except a folder with subfolders that I copied across to the Vista.
When I try to access this 'Access denied' message comes.
The folder on the Vista seems to be permenantly set to read only. I delete
Read Only but it comes back again.

Hi
Successful Sharing involves some general consideration in Network
settings,http://www.ezlan.net/sharing.html As well as specific adjustment of
each computer according to what it is allowed to be shared.
