You're welcome, André. When you reply to a news group message, please
include the full text of the message that you're replying to, so that
people who only see the latest message can understand the situation.

Don't log in as the user named "Administrator". Log in with your
normal user name, take ownership as that user, and configure the
shares as that user. Double check that the user has administrator
privileges. Double check that the user has full control on the
folder.

If that doesn't solve it, I don't know what the problem is. Someone
else here might know, or you could try posting your question in news
group microsoft.public.windowsxp.general for more people to see.
