Try to Disable the Simple file share, go to Tools, then Folder Option, and do uncheck the option, which says, use simple file share :)

Now right click on the drive, and go to shareing and security, there apart from defaul X$ share, Click New Share and give a name then Click Permission, now try to add every one or ur use name there with Full permission :)
