    Other users can't copy into public folder


    I checked my network sharing center and network discovery, file sharing is on, and password protected sharing is off.

    I checked the public folder, the icon has a lock sign on it, every time I try to change it from read only to write, it doesn't change but stays as read only

    How do I change the permissions for my public folder with a lock on it?

    The easiest way I know for this is to simply navigate to the public folder right click - properties - security
    Then you'll have to give the guest or everyone group full permissions.
