I think you got it right. If you change file permissions to 777, 
everybody may read / write / execute those files IF it is a Unix (Linux) 
environment. But what everybody seems to be missing is that you are 
talking about Windows permissions on a Windows share which has nothing 
to do with Unix permissions. Therefore the suggested chmod command isn't 
very useful in your case.

Sorry, I can't help you there - I don't use Windows shares. Isn't there 
someone who knows how Windows permissions work with CIFS / SAMBA (not 
sure which one is used here)?
