It sounds like a permissions issue, I don't have that issue on mine. Check
the security of the document and settings folder see if your account has the

Without really understanding what I'm doing, I've gotten this working.  
I disabled Simple File Sharing on my XP Pro PC and looked at Security
for the folder that works (C:/temp) and for the "Install Files" folder
(in Documents and Settings) - both Shared.  Seeing that C:/temp had an
entry for "Everyone" (with Read&Execute, List  Folder Contents, and Read
permission enabled), I clicked on Add in the Install Files folder (in
Documents and Settings) and added "Everyone," which appeared along with
the same permissions settings (Read&Execute, List  Folder Contents, and
Read permission).

Now I can copy and even execute the shared install files (.exe) from the
remote machine (XP Home) - even if I re-enable Simple File Sharing.

Problem solved.

.... It seems to me that when I shared the folder in Documents and
Settings, the "Everyone" entry should have been added by Simple File
Sharing, but for some reason, it was not.  At least I have it working now.

Thanks for the help .... and for hanging in there with me.

Very stupid and ignorant of you.

You should have said that when you double clicked the EXE you get some
"Access Denied" error.. and written it exactly.

But that would have been wrong, Sir James. Like I said, when I
double-clicked, I got absolutely nothing.

What you said, was that nothing happened.

Because nothing happened ..... duh.

Later, when I tried to copy and paste, I got "Access denied." You can
read, can't you? I made that quite clear. After googling that error
message (with network , remote, shared) and listening to the advice I
received here, I found a way to fix my problem.


then I misunderstood you, though you really weren't very clear - on a
number of points, from the beginning..


Thanks for the help ô¿Ô¬


No problem. I am very very rude - to most people.
