That is the next step. The problem is, WinXP seems to store Sharing and NTFS
permissions, so I'm trying to start with a clean slate, but if I disable
sharing for the folder and then re-enable it, it's back to the last
configuration, not the default everything clean. Do you know of a way to
re-set it?

Members of a workgroup do not have the same ACL relationship that members of
a domain possess. Each time you create an ID/pass on some workgroup member
machine, it generates a new ACL. To follow that, any sharing done on any
member machine must be explicitely set by some admin from that member. I
would guess some setting is out on the laptop. Maybe something simple like
adding the file and print sharing protocol to the LAN connectoid, or maybe
including the 'everyone' group in permissions. There's certainly no question
that an 'access denied' error is some sharing setting.

My try at it would be to look over all the basic steps, one at a time, from
this site.

Well, yes I have. I have all permissions for Ilya Barskiy (local) and even
the Users group. By the way, when I authenticate from the desktop with the
same user name as created on the laptop, should it not see me as the same
user? (i.e. Ilya Barskiy, member of Administrators), and permissions should
already be there?

Regardless, Users are set to have full control, both Sharing permissions and
NTFS. When I said implies I was referring to the fact that copying is nothin
but reading from the source, and then recording to the destination. If I can
open a file on the laptop in Excel from desktop, that means I can read from
the source. I certainly am able to record to the destination (local folder
on the desktop, or even Desktop on the desktop), but for whatever reason I
can not combine the two actions?! Even more weird, since obviously I have
Modify privileges for the remote folder, because I can put files there from
the desktop, or delete files there from the desktop. SO the question is,
WTF?!!
