    Transferring files


    Hi,
    I have Windows Home Premium on my laptop and Windows Ultimate (both Windows) When I try to transfer files, I get a message that I do not have the proper authority. I know I have administrator authority on my desktop, but not sure of status on the laptop.

    What do I need to do to be able to transfer files?

    Thanks.

    Goto start>control panel>users>your user. does it say "administrator"?

    It may not just be a case of admin privs. what files are you trying to transfer?

    The quick and dirty way is to copy the files to the C:\Users\Public\(pick one) folder, then transfer the files to where you want them on the computer you sent them to.

    Sharing other folders is done through:

    right-click the folder
    go to Properties
    then to Security
    then to Edit

    then set the permission level you want for each group. :)
