OK, well then the next thing I tried was I set up a whole new admin account
with a different name and password and shared it and I got the same error
message that I do not have permission so I dunno. I am still completely
stumped as to what is stopping my desktop from accessing any admin account
yet all the other user accounts are accessible just fine. If anyone has the
slightest clue please post...this is driving me insane.

No, in fact, using the same username and password makes things easier.
However, the password can't be blank.

Note:
Would the fact that I am the admin on both the desktop and my laptop and
using the same user name on both be the problem? Although this has always
been set up this way and I was able to access the laptop before so dunno.
Has something regarding this changed since a security patch install
perhaps?

I am using Windows OneCare and I have both checked the settings and also
disabled it and no change.
I just can't figure this out. Like I said though, I am able to access
other files on the laptop...just not my account and I am the
administrator
and there is a hand showing my folders are indeed set to be shared!!!

Check the firewall and ensure that you've enabled the exceptions for File
and Print sharing? If you're using a firewall, that is.

No change.
Still getting the same error only now I do have the option to change the
permissions.
Any other suggestions?

On the machine you're trying to access, open Windows Explorer, go to
Tools,
Folder Options, View and scroll down. Uncheck Use simple file sharing.

I don't understand why my desktop can't get into my laptop.
Here is my set up and what I've done.
Desktop running XP Pro SP2...Laptop running XP MCE SP2.
My laptop can see my desktop an access all files fine, but the desktop
cannot get into my (I'm the admin) acct. I get the following error:
XXX is not accessible. You might not have permission to use the
network
resource. Contact the administrator of this server to find out if you
have
access permission. Access is denied.
I AM THE ADMINISTRATOR!
I can access the guest account and the shared item folder just fine
(duh)
and All Users folder fine, just not the admin account (mine) I have
right
clicked on all of my folders and selected Sharing and Security and
under
the
Share name it shows the default name and I have also checked "Allow
network
users to change my files" and the folder icon shows the little shared
hand
graphic on it but no go!?!? The strange thing is that "Make this
folder
private" and also "Share this folder on the network" are grayed out!
But
obviously I was able to mark those previously otherwise how did they
get
checked in the first place. Below it says "The options on this tab are
disabled because this folder is in another folder that is private".
huh?
Can someone help me figure out what is going on? I've run the network
Wizard until I am blue in the face.
TIA
