I have two user accounts set up under WinXP. One is admin, the other
is non-admin (restricted). I have two hard drives; a C drive and a E
drive. For some reason the restricted user doesn't have read/write
privileges to the E drive.

It seems Windows wants all the shared files and folders to reside
inside the C drive under C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Documents

Is there a way to share a file or folder on the E drive (without
moving/copying it to the C drive)?

Sharing folders won't lift any of your restrictions. You have
to change the permissions to the folders on drive E:. Click
Start / Help, then look for help on Permissions to see how
it's done.
