Stephen,

Thank you very much. Yes, I was able to transfer files from one of the
old share folders on each machine to the other. Only the newly shared
folder wouldn't show up in the Desktop's My Network Places window.

Here is where I am happily now.

I looked at the workgroup (MSHOME) via Explorer and found a whole bunch
of old, outdated and no longer wanted share folders. I couldn't find a
way to remove them and, besides, there were too many to conveniently
remove one by one anyway. So I simply said, "What the heck. Lets just
set up a new connection with a new workgroup name (I never was thrilled
with MSHOME as a name anyway.) and so I did.

Things work as expected now and I am a happy camper. Like my wife
often says, I have just been a sloppy housekeeper over the years.

Thanks again.
