On computer 3, I have her Desktop Folder shared across the network but it
can't be seen by my computer (W2K). I used the same technique used to share
the desktop of computer 2 (Comp 2 & 3 are identical) therefore it should be
shared okay.
So the error message just says that I don't have permissions.. see
administrator.
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 from my computer (w2k).
Hopefully I made this clearer than my first attempt
Thanks
