Re: Stumped!!--How to open up file sharing

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

New information!

It occured to me that the entire C: drive is not shared on main
machine - just folders within it. Therefore, I wouldn't have gotten a
response to \\computer anyway. I tried entering "\\computer\SharedFolder"
into my Run box and it worked. I was able to see the folder. I was also
able to see subfolders within that shared folder.

However, I still have the problem. I can go to "My Network Places",
expand "Entire Network", then expand "Microsoft Windows Network", Expand the
name of my home network and I see the computers there. But if I then try to
open the main computer, I get the "Access denied" message again, so I can't
see the shared folder within it. The same thing happens if I go to "Add a
network Place" and try to browse to my shared folder. This seems to leave
me with no way to view my shared folder.

Before, I was able to do this without sharing the entire drive of my
main computer. Once again, I must be missing something that should be
obvious.
