Hey guys..!! the problem is that i just did a fresh install of windows xp in one of my work-group system. Earlier i used to access all the shared files of that computer from mine but after installing xp i am unable to access the shared files at all!! whenever i try to access the shared documents of that system it asks me for the administrator password. Suppose my system's name is "1" from which i want to access the files. and the other system's name is "2" from which the files are to be accessed. so whenever i try to access the files on 2 from 1 i get a dialogue box asking for the administrator password( I did the fresh install on system "2" ) which i didn't set. so is there any way to get rid of this? The system "1" has Windows 7 installed.
