Thank you Chuck for your reply.
I am using XP Home Edition. Thanks for the tips and
about the email address... I got the opportunity to sign
in with password, and it still said access denied. I do
have the drive shared that I am trying to get to. But I
will check your other tips too...
Thanks again...
David
