I have xp home.

I have just setup a laptop to access my desktop.

I can print and see the shared folder but I cannot save after editing.

It tells me the files are read only.

When i look at the desk top the files are not read only but the folder is.
I assume the file are getting this attribute from the folded but I do not
know how to remove this.

Everything I read say go to properties then the security tab and give
permissions to the folder for network users. When I do that there is no
security tab only a sharing tab which is setup for network access and users
can edit the file.

That's because what you are reading is for XP Pro, in order to have that tab
in Home Edition you need to boot to safe mode.

When you enabled the folder for sharing by right-clicking on it and
selecting "Sharing and Security", did you also check the box labeled
"Allow network users to change my files" ?
