File Sharing

[Guest]

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.hardware (More info?)

On Computer "A", I have enabled File Sharing at the C Drive level, and have
allowed full read/write access from the other computers on the network.

Computer "B" recognizes Computer "A" and can map a network drive to it.
Certain folders in Documents and Settings will not open and indicate that
Computer "B" does not have authorization.

Both computers are running XP. I have done this numerous times in the past
without a hitch. But there must be something different here. I have run the
Network Setup Wizard on Computer "A" successfully. I have even gone to the
specific folders on the C Drive of Computer "A" and have enabled File
Sharing at the folder level, but Computer "B" STILL can't open the
folder(s).

Any ideas?

Did you right click Documents and Settings and allow sharing ?
