Re: Sharing a Folder Across The Network

Tech Tip: Click here to run a free scan for Windows Errors and optimize PC performance



The error message, from my computer (W2K) just says that I don't have
permissions.. see
administrator. This is when I go to the Network and drill down to that
correct computer name. It acts as if the Desktop is not shared (but it is
shared across the network)

My computer is W2K and the two computers below are on my network.
Path to computer 1 is:\\Nicholas\Nick's Desktop
Path to computer 2 is:\\Natalie\Natalie's Desktop

It is the path to computer 2 that is not showing up, when viewing, from my
computer (w2k). Only her computer name shows up. However computer 2 does
have some other folders that are shared and I can access them okay. Just
the Desktop will not share.

Hopefully I made this clearer than my first attempt
Thanks
