Can you help me with windows 7 and homegroups?

I am sharing pictures with a second computer using homegroups, what I need to do is protect the files so the second computer cannot delete them. I want them to be read only. I have tried clicking on the pictures folder and changing under the share menu to read but did not work. please help.
Tip for best answer: M$1.00
Separate topics with commas, or by pressing return. Use the delete or backspace key to edit or remove existing topics.

You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

Try this:

Under Libraries on the first computer, right click on Pictures and select "Share with" and then "Homegroup(read)".

Please see attached screenshot.

Not sure if this is what you tried, but it works for me and hope it works for you as well.

The short answer is no. You can't prevent it but still you can encrypt it or hide
