I have the same account login across Vista Biz, Win7 h-p, and XP Pro. I have:
- broken upstream inherited permissions,
- taken ownership,

- under Sharing I have deleted Everyone and added the account with the common login, with Writing rights.
- First, the other machines can see, but cannot access the share at all, and don't even get the chance to log in for it. It just says access denied.
- Second, there is no way to apply Share status to all descendants. They are not transferred along with Permissions. One must go through each folder manually.
- Third, the Share settings I made last night - and reopened the Properties sheet to verify - were completely gone this morning. It was as if I had never been there.
