Windows 10: File sharing permission denied.

I have three PCs, let's call them OldLaptop & OldDesktop running Windows 10 and a NewDesktop running windows 11.From the new PC running Windows 11 I can access a shared folder on my OldLaptop, but when I try to access a shared drive called "Store" on my OldDesktop, I get a Network Error stating:"Windows cannot access \\OldDesktop\StoreYou do not have permission to access \\OldDesktop\Store. Contact your network adminstrator to request access"I set up file sharing on the old systems the same way and had no trouble reading each from the other.

How to Customize File Sharing Permissions to Create/Modify/Delete FILES... but not FOLDERS?

Hello. I need to customize a shared folder on my network so that one user (Reba) can create, append, modify, delete all FILES within that folder and subfolders... but Reba should not be able to create or delete the FOLDERS.

I've tested various configurations, and the closest I've been able to come is to create
TWO sets of Advanced permissions for Reba:

1. The first instance of Reba, is ALLOWED, applied to "This folders and subfolders,"

• Traverse folder / execute file
• List folder / read data
• Read attributes
• Read extended attributes
• Create files / write data
• Write attributes
• Write extended attributes
• Delete subfolders and files
• Read permissions

But Reba is DENIED permissions of:

• Full control
• Create folders / append data
• Delete
• Change permissions
• Take ownership

2. The second instance of Reba, is ALLOWED, applied to "Files Only:"

• Traverse folder / execute file
• List folder / read data
• Read attributes
• Read extended attributes
• Create files / write data
• Create folders / append data
• Write attributes
• Write extended attributes
• Delete subfolders and files
• Delete
• Read permissions

But Reba is DENIED permissions of:

• Full control
• Change permissions
  
• Take ownership

The above configuration does deny Reba the ability to create folders/subfolders... but ALLOWs her to delete folders (which I do NOT want her to be able to do).
