Thanks for all the posts on this site, I eventually found one that worked.
Here's another ridiculous possibility that I came across in the process. I found
that I could access some sub-folders within a folder but not others. It turned out
that those which could not had different security settings.
To explore this possibility, right click on the miscreant folder, select Properties
and click the Security tab. In the bottom frame, if the ticks in the "Allow" column
are not greyed out, this means that the folder has not inherited its security permissions
from the parent folder.
To resolve it, click on the Advanced button, then tick the box near the bottom that
says "Inherit from parent the permission entries ...."
If you want to change the security properties for all files, navigate to the highest
folder in the group being shared and carry out the above action, and also click the
box below that says "Replace permission entries on all child objects ...."
If the highest folder doesn't allow access to Everyone, click on one of the Permission
entries, click Edit, click Change, type the word "Everyone" and click OK
In my case I have absolutely no idea how this problem happened. I have never set
seperate permissions for individual folders. All I can say is well done Microsoft!
It takes some rare skill to turn something that should be as simple and seamless
as file sharing between two computers, owned by the same person, sitting in the same
room and connected by a single cable, into a topic for hundreds of online forums
and a task that can take up the whole of an afternoon. It must be so BORING to own
a Mac!
